Agreed. It's too bad HTTP is being eradicated across the internet to be replaced with HTTPS which requires a security certificate. Not that one can't use one of the many blog sites. It's just a shame people won't be able to write web pages without the blessings of the gate keepers.

~144 million dollars of a pension fund was lost Ellen Pao is now accused of frivolous lawsuits to try and stay afloat and some other shit. Seeing as she is a CEO of a large company and has a fraudster for a husband I think it's safe to say we have a textbook ASPD/Sociopath on our hands

If that just shows that the user was shadow banned OR deleted their own account, how is that proof the user was shadow banned?

Not saying that it didn't go down the way everyone thinks it went down, but it's possible that he was shadowbanned for something aside from this comment. I also still am not sure whether he was shadowbanned or if he deleted his account.

Edit: Thanks folks. I recognize now that he has indeed been shadowbanned. I still wish we knew if there were extenuating circumstances, but reddit admins' policy is not to discuss the reasons for bans unfortunately, leaving us only with the appearance that this may have been due to his comments. :/

True shadowbans, like what happened to the user mentioned in this post, are not handed out by moderators but by the reddit admins, the actual paid staff working for Reddit for a paycheck. There is something that is sometimes referred to as a "soft shadowban" which achieves a similar effect, but only for a specific subreddit - and that can be done by the moderators of the subreddit (moderators who are unpaid and mostly anonymous volunteers).

[–]revoopy 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Shadowbans also exist so that bots that spam don't know they have been banned and continue posting but no one can see the spam. Or that is the logic. I assume a bot could be written to check on itself to see if it was shadowbanned.

[–]khamul787 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Mods can allow posts by shadowbanned users, and do so all the time. You're right about deleting though. However, there's still no link between this comment and the shadowban.

For what it's worth, I think shadowbanning is ridiculous, and admins should use standard banning techniques as there's already a million ways around the ban for spammers.

[–]Mumberthrax 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

There is a substantial amount of missing evidence for any kind of conclusive proof about the circumstances of this story. All that we have is a person making a critical comment, his account being shadowbanned, and a policy among the admins not to discuss individual bans. That's about it. Everything else is conjecture, sadly.

How can you tell when someone gets shadowbanned?

[–]jafbm 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

fuck stupid posts like this I don't fucking care about reddit or the fucking owners of reddit or who got banned or shadow banned or any of that nonsense. I've had 3 accounts on reddit get banned over the last 8 years, all for bullshit comments or posts...none of it is real and nothing is important.

If it doesn't matter, why do you care? If you're sick of it, why click the link and reply instead of down vote?

What is shadowbanned? And how can you tell in this pic?

If it's no conspiracy, then why is it on /r/conspiracy? hmm...

What do you believe the word "conspiracy" means?

edit: ha, you know I totally overlooked the "it's no conspiracy" part of the title. Funny how you gloss over stuff like that sometimes. You're totally on the money here, the OP is using the colloquial (read: propagandized) meaning of the word rather than the literal original meaning.

It might not be a conspiracy per se, it might have been just one person who shadowbanned him. No way to actually tell technically. chances are though that it was a conspiracy between at least two people - the one who did the shadowban, and the others who don't stop it.

I love that people think they actually got human rights on other peoples internet forums. Stick to the plan, stay within the rules and dont get banned.

Don't come home to my house and talk shit about my wife, i will throw you the fuck out.

That would be fine, but they need the users to generate content to build this house. So there's a bit of a debate to whose house it is

What rule did that user break?

[–]kaptenhefty -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't know and I don't care to be honest. Just fun to see people getting their butts hurt for something so obvious and natural.

My house my rules. You can be racist all you want outside my house. But in my house you get your ass thrown out. (not saying anyone been racist here)

It's no conspiracy, it has nothing to do about freedom of speech.

If you start a reddit 2.0 tomorrow with new rules to prevent this "conspiracy" I can promise you will see exactly this behavior when and if the that forum become a reddit size forum.

Not saying it's ok or something we should strive for. But this is exactly how we humans work. Stop bitching about it and build your own forum and see what happens.

you're a fuckin idiot

[–]kaptenhefty [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

I know. Having a sober view on life usually gets downvotes and name callings. I'm not sticking to your black and white shitty view on life.

[–]makeplayz [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

You just sound like an apologist for censorship, saying it's ok. On an internet forum you should be allowed to say whatever you'd like. Giving people the power to suppress gives way for corruption.

[–]kaptenhefty [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Im not. I could give less of a fuck since the matter don't interest me. But this is a forum owned by someone. Someone with their own rules. If you start your own forum you can say exactly what you want, but when you're in someone else's house you go by their fucking rules.

What's your favorite news station?

[–]kaptenhefty [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Fascistnews.com Nazitoday.com and Censorredditors.gov

If you step outside your bubble for just 2 seconds you'll see that what I'm saying is not anything controversial.

Yes I want you to be able to say what ever you want even if it's wrong and stupid. But if I buy a server, build up an business and let millions of people come in to my house you follow my rules.

If this was a government owned server and service i would agree. But this is a private fucking internet forum. You can cry yourself to sleep complaining about censorship on a private service but it won't help. Their house their fucking rules.

Government shutting down a forum or deleting a post/user is censorship. Removing/Banning/Deleting people on a private forum is not.

Kids these days think internet is a fucking open playground for freedom of speech. It's not. There is different rules on different services. You can't show nipples on facebook and if you do they will remove the picture. It's still not fucking censorship. We as westerners have no fucking clue of what censorship and fascism is.

Just because it's fact doesn't mean it's not a conspiracy as well.

/s Shadow-banned for basic logic? Everyone knows that anyone married to depraved pre-felon is a serial killer. I don't even know why they have psychiatry when the truth is so self evident. /s Shadowbanning is half assed but what do you do with somebody that insists on shitting in the living room? Its not respectable but understandable. If I went to McDonalds and started ranting about them being corporate oppressive fascists who poison children I'd be more than shadow-banned.

Why is no one asking themselves if this is real ?!

We here are /r/conspiracy should be true sceptics. The ones asking "why should this be true". Just because someone posts something here does not make it true. And yet everyone takes it at face value, denegrating the image of the community.

I know we all love some corporate bashing (/r/hailcorporate) but fuck guys !!!
