Just hours ago, I had posts shadow removed from r/nba, ya sports. All well within rules, but not acceptable for whatever reason, and that's their right(maybe should only be for staff not sub mods though to shadow,) but it sucks. Makes a platform even if it's the only game in town pretty unusable. When I commented in said thread that they were shadow banning many comments, I got the 2 day ban :) I've commented before here, that shadow banning is very underhanded even if effective and especially infuriating when your content is fine which are most of my experiences. So then at some point you have to wonder about what even gets out vs what all is mined, and used however. Just populate the platforms fully with bots and marketeers I guess and let them talk amongst themselves. Maybe we can give those bots and marketers the right to vote as an extension of corporate personhood. The interesting thing is how you have zero recourse, not to say you should or have any right, but you were likely in the middle a discussion with another person/people and you are now to look the fool with removed content and no ability to respond. Shady business, but luckily sports in this case.

update nobody wants: I took other's advice and contacted the mods and reported like the private message suggests. Somehow that was "evading the ban" which got me a permanent site-wide ban. I never logged in to any other account or posted on the banned one in the sub banned from. It makes no sense. Did they just take a sub mods false word on this? I would have thought that's something determined in code pretty easily. I'll respect this though and not use their service, and talk truthfully about them to anyone who will listen. I understand they are a ycombinator company, so please don't ban me here too for sports wrongthink and being critical of a once really good platform.
