Shadow Ban: A user will still post like normal, but no one will see anything they post. They can't tell they've been shadow banned.

Huh? That is weird. It said the topic had three posts, but I only see you responding to your own topic. A glitch I guess.

I was mistakenly shadow banned on reddit one time. I didn't realize for like eight months.

I don't post that often, so it didn't really bother me. I remember being surprised I was getting no responses or any up or down votes for some comments during those months. But sometimes I posted messages and just forgot to check back. So I probably only noticed a couple times.

Anyway, one time I'm browsing reddit at work in a comment thread I know I posted in when I was at home and I don't see my message. I find out I'm shadow banned and after messaging the mods I was back to normal in a couple hours with the reason that it looks like I got swept up by the spam filter.

So, no, I don't really like the idea of automated punishments without notification.

I doubt it'd be automated on a site as small as this.

Not really, but I will anyway. What exactly does this accomplish? First off, somebody who doesn't realize they're banned is going to figure it out pretty quickly so you aren't gaining time (and then what happens? They just switch to another account). Second, it means leaving parts of their profile active so people don't know that they're banned, which makes it confusing for everybody else. Third, it allows people to troll by claiming that somebody has been banned which can't be easily verified (in addition to other problems with non-transparent punishment).

It's fairly pointless and, for the most part, hurts everybody else as much or more than the punished individual.
