anyone know how to get around a reddit comment shadowban?
I tried making a new account. didn't work. still not seeing the account or the comments.
do I need to make a new account while not logged into any email while using a vpn to be unshadowed?
can they ip ban? do they ban based on trigger words/phrases?
nevermind found the answer.
A shadowban is different from a subreddit ban. A shadowbanned user can still submit and make comments, but all of the submissions are sent straight to a subreddit spam queue, where it will not be visible to other users until approved by a moderator. Because an individual's spammed submissions are still visible to themselves, a shadowban is almost invisible to a logged-in user.
Through the use of AutoModerator, individual subreddits can give the same effect to a user as a global shadowban.
If you are shadowbanned, your user page will appear nonexistent to anybody that looks at your user page, other than yourself. You will need to contact the admins to get your shadowban reversed.
