SomethingAwful had this process years ago.

Break a small rule/shitpost? Probated, very short ban usually around 24 hours.

Break a rule/keep breaking the same small ones/shitpost? Banned, can no longer access forums. Re-register or buy an unban.

Still haven't learned? Permabanned, you cannot re-register. Perma'd posters who re-reg and get found out (they'll always go back to their old habits) instant perma on new account.

Then there was the Hellban. Saved only for the worst offenders who would just keep making new accounts and pissing away money, the Hellban allowed them to still see the forums and make posts and replies, but nobody else could see them.

The hellban sounds a lot like the "miserable users" function.

As a longtime Goon anytime I hear people moaning about banning on Reddit, I think "You wouldn't last long on SA"

[–]gargoyle_mayonnaise 26ポイント27ポイント  (5子コメント)

I didn't last long on SA. I was a lurker for years, I paid for an account, posted a photoshop thread and got instantly perma banned. There was a rule that only mods or something could use the PS tag even though I had the ability to use it, and I didn't know about the rule, whatever. That's how SA rolls. Rules are scattered around here and there, it costs $$ to sign up, and if you fuck up you're out money. I didn't create a new account and went back to lurking for a while, but haven't been back since I found reddit. The quality of their main page content has gotten a lot lamer since then anyways so I don't miss it much.

[–]Talran 8ポイント9ポイント  (2子コメント)

I actually forgot SA has a frontpage. I haven't been since 9/11 or something.

I used to love Photoshop Phridays but there hasn't been an outstanding one in ages. /r/photoshopbattles has been cranking out better content every day for years.

        Why are people mostly getting shadow ban? If it's for botting why isn't this a good solution?

        [–]blendt3 686ポイント687ポイント  (213子コメント)

        The problem is the admins don't tell any one why. So nobody knows.

        [–]frugalrhombus 67ポイント68ポイント  (10子コメント)

        well this guy admitted to having a "really annoying bot" so it's pretty self explanatory why he got banned IMO

        [–]blendt3 13ポイント14ポイント  (8子コメント)

        This giy is me, I didn't create that bot which was banned 9 months ago. If you're saying the admin delayed an ip ban by 9 months then this is much more alarming

          Note that this is a moderator action and not an admin action, so it does not apply site-wide.

          [–]FailedTech1 122ポイント123ポイント  (0子コメント)

          And that is not a shadowban, just a regular ban.

          [–]TranslatedComment 161ポイント162ポイント  (82子コメント)

          Yep. But lately - thanks to automoderator being available for every sub reddit - many people now refer to shadowbans as the moderators simply setting automoderator to remove a users submissions/comments within their own sub reddit.

          There are now two levels of shadowban;

          1) Moderator level shadownban: All of your comments and submissions are removed from a specific sub reddit, but are still perfectly fine everywhere else.

          2) Admin level shadowban: All of your comments and submissions are removed from the entire site. Your user profile is not viewable to anyone other than yourself.

          The confusion comes from a lot of moderators using this term to sound more threatening.

          [–]rdeluca 125ポイント126ポイント  (76子コメント)

          Moderator level shadownban: All of your comments and submissions are removed from a specific sub reddit, but are still perfectly fine everywhere else.

          So... just a ban. There's literally no difference if between the two if you* know you're "moderator shadowbanned".

          [–]TranslatedComment 102ポイント103ポイント  (51子コメント)

          The difference is that you get a message telling you when you're banned from a subreddit.

          Setting automoderator to remove a users comments and submissions is an easy way to avoid this message, therefore the person being banned doesn't know and make a new account.

          [–]_stonecoldsaidso 11ポイント12ポイント  (26子コメント)

          Yes but who just comments and never checks back in a thread? It's pretty easy to tell if you're automod banned even without a message, not so with shadowbans.

          [–]TranslatedComment 33ポイント34ポイント  (17子コメント)

          Your comments still show up for yourself. Checking back wouldn't matter because you still see it.

              No, getting banned from a sub by the mods tells you that you got banned. An automod "shadow ban" just removes your submissions and comments, so you dont know right away.

              [–]large_butt 11ポイント12ポイント  (5子コメント)

              This is really useful (from a mod perspective) because ban evading on reddit is piss-easy, which means that regular bans do fuck all to stop anyone who wants to get around them.

              Until that's no longer true, automatically removing their posts and comments with a bot is going to keep happening because it's the only effective tool you have to stop them from realizing they need a new account as quickly. It's not foolproof, but it's better than a regular ban in some cases.

                    That's not a shadow ban. That's a mod banning a user from a single subreddit, and using the wrong terminology.

                    [–]Saerain 77ポイント78ポイント  (3子コメント)

                    Besides, doesn't telling someone they're being shadowbanned defeat the purpose of the difference?

                    You're getting shadowbanned.

                    Entirely defeats the purpose of a shadowban.

                    I'd be willing to bet that most people that browse reddit are. ISPs tend to make you pay extra for static IP and in some cases only provide that service to enterprises.

                                My other account got banned on subredditdrama and shadowbanned shortly after like a year or two ago.

                                In my case, they were raiding a post (because although all the non-participation rules it's pretty obvious when people from there appear in a big group) about intellectual property. And although the post quoted on the original SRD did indeed sound quite stupid I felt curious about why he thought that way and so I started talking with the guy and asking him stuff and so I got banned. I broke the rules, but if the one that banned me had a little common sense I wouldn't be with this account now; I wasn't teasing anybody, I wasn't trashing anything, I was being polite and genuinely curious about the thing.

                                Anyway, people get banned on online communities for almost anything. You can be doing your thing for years until one day you find that shitty admin/dude whose friend is an admin and then you just disappear (I've been banned so many times this way, and I'm not even rude or anything, I sw). Happens everywhere and nobody cares. Happens in real life with suicides, murders and what not and still people don't care; expecting otherwise in online forums when we're talking just about accounts is just nuts.

                                that seems like an innocuous mistake to me, i mean all reddit does is serves as a platform for people to reach out to each other

                                but i am confused by what you said about getting banned for reaching out and talking to the OP mentioned in the post crossposted to SRD. how did the admins of subredditdrama find out?

                                did you pm that OP and it was a private conversation? did you post publicly in the thread? even then, how did the admins find out about the rule violation? did somebody report you or what the ban automated?

                                this is getting a bit too confusing for me when there's so many custom rules for the thousands of subreddits out there...

                                SRD has a bunch of users who watch for people commenting after it was posted to SRD. The assumption then is that you came from there, so they report you and it's a ban. They take great pride in this and you'll sometimes see bragging about reporting people.

                                We could discuss the type of person who has nothing better to do than watch posts with the sole intent of "tattling" on a complete stranger, but that's another topic.

                                The SRD community has become filled with that type of user. SRS type person. Little internet warriors who's only happiness in life is in making small inconveniences for the people they disagree with (or for them, vitriolic hate) and circlejerking about it.

                                    SRD has degraded into a joke. The SRD of a few years ago would be making fun of the posts in SRD now. It's basically just an extension of SRS, and "drama" to them is only when there's controversy over one of their hot button issues, and only when their side is painted in a positive light.

                                    Otherwise, it's not drama or it's not relevant enough or whatever. It's a pretty bad subreddit.

                                    Why did you get shadowbanned from the whole site though? I'm still confused; mods from SRD can't shadowban you from the complete site, can they? Did you just get banned because they had influence on the admins?

                                    [–]IAmAWhaleProstitute 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

                                    The SRD of a few years ago had constant mod infighting and internal drama. There were multiple offshoot subs made because of how shitty the place was getting and at one point the entire mod list was scrubbed clean because they couldn't get their shit together. Even when the sub was first created people were calling it shit. It's a sub about petty drama, it's never going to be some happy little utopia.

                                        There's no way to know why it happens. If you try contacting mods depending on your luck you'll either get half answers or no answers at all. If you search for some posts that list possible reasons to getting shadowbanned it's basically a huge list of stuff, and in there are many completely normal actions that anyone who uses the Internet is bound to do sometimes, like "following a link from another website to reddit and upvoting".

                                        [–]Mynameisnotdoug 17ポイント18ポイント  (7子コメント)

                                        Mods can't shadowban. Shadowban is a very specific thing that is reddit wide and can only be done at the admin level.

                                        [–]5k3k73k 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

                                        I became aware that I was shadowbanned earlier this year. I messaged the admins regarding why, they responding with "vote brigading". Nothing more specific than that. After doing some research I found out that "vote brigading" is following a link in a topic or comment on Reddit that leads to a different topic or comment on Reddit and then voting on that topic or comment. Which I am sure I did, hyperlinking is the essence of the World Wide Web. I promised not to do it again and I was unbanned.

                                            Edit: I guess this has turned into a he said she said thing. I too can post imgur links. Until we have some sort of transparent view of the administration it will always be he said she said.

                                            Well, that's not very honest, because I can see multiple responses to different accounts of yours, which you even replied back to, acknowledging that you received them. Let's do a review:

                                            I noticed you also haven't bothered to mention the 999 accounts you created and that you were trying to use to vote up your submissions in /r/me_irl. I know that's a really noble pursuit, but it's also pretty clearly against the rules.

                                              Why not email contact@reddit.com and see if they can fix it now since it uses a ticket system

                                              I am curious. Can you tell what you were doing with your regular account that you think is the reason for SB?

                                              From what I gather, IP shadowbans are only for those who are serious offenders.

                                              According to the ceo/whoever took just took over, Shadowbans are never supposed to occur against users, only bots.

                                              Yep. Downvoted a post I'd gotten to through /r/subredditdrama on /r/all on mobile, discovered I was shadowbanned over a week later. Had to be told what I did (brigading), I was clueless.

                                              The brigading bans are bullshit. You're using their site as it was designed, and you get punished for it. If you want to disallow voting from other subreddit links, disallow votes coming from internal referrers.

                                              Edit: internal referrers from *reddit.com/r/*/comments/* for example.

                                              Not only you're using the site as designed, the site doesn't even inform you it's punishable.

                                              And I'm not talking about the nature of shadowban, I'm talking about brigading itself. This rule is completely unwritten. It's not in site rules, it's not in user agreement, it's not even in the goddamn reddiquette. There's no clear official source where even an unusually diligent new user could find out this is forbidden, yet you can get the worst punishment for it there is. It's ridiculous.

                                                    That's not a shadow-ban then. A shadow-ban is where you can interact with the site normally from your perspective but nobody else can see what you do.

                                                    A shadow ban is what's happening now, though, in the video, since his user page still comes up as long as he's logged in.

                                                        I got shadowbanned because i posted in a sub i was banned in. The rules didn't explicitly state that on first glance but i was okay with it.

                                                        I contacted the admins and acknowledged my fault and told them i wouldn't do that again.
                                                        I wrote for 2 weeks with the admins before someone told me whether or not i will ever be unbanned....

                                                              Shadowbans should not be used for any other purpose.

                                                              Even if cases where this happened users were rude that's not the purpose of shadow banning anything else is abuse of it.

These are people that have probably never had power over anyone in their lives suddenly being told "These millions? You control them now, and there are basically no consequences!"

                                                                              The tor browser has tried very hard to evade browser fingerprinting techniques and make each user indistinguishable, and there will often be many reddit users sharing the same exit node ip

                                                                              Could this cause a blanket shadow ban on thousands of tor users by reddit automatically flagging the tor browser bundle fingerprint and tor exit node ip addresses because of one guy getting shadow banned?

                                                                              Just an aimless guess from watching a video though.

                                                                              You know why ?

                                                                              For revealing THIS.

                                                                              So anyone who has a normal account and develops a THROW AWAY to reveal something secret about themselves is automatically linked back to that account.

                                                                              SO there is no throwaway, there is no secret accounts, second accounts - they are all linked.

                                                                              There - I said it - AGAIN - streuth_mate it was good knowing you - fare thee well.

                                                                              You'd have to be a bit of a dunce to think that changing your screen name and posting from the exact same IP address is going to make you hidden from all prying eyes.

                                                                                If I didn't want it to be linked to me at all I would use a proxy, different browser, different PC, different physical location, whatever.

                                                                                Why would I care that the admins know those accounts are still me? They don't know me. They don't care about me. Half the things I say about myself probably aren't true.

                                                                                When you create an account, you are required to provide a username and password, and may opt to provide an email address. We also log, and retain indefinitely, the IP address from which the account is initially created. Reddit privacy policy

                                                                                You may be paranoid, but you're also certainly uninformed to boot.

If you do something stupid and that record needs to goto the FBI or your local investigation unit, they can track that IP through each and every router. If you are mobile, they can track it even further. While some of you want to make reddit a "free speech" hub, if you break the law or break Reddit's rules, they have the ability to know your logins by IP. If you're daft enough to be shocked at this, you're part of the fucking problem. And guess what? Voat can do the same fucking thing. Lololol

                                                                                    I'm not sure how precisely they perma ban but I know of two people that since being truly perma banned have not been able to get back on Reddit from their computer. I'm thinking it's a hardware GUID ban but not sure.

                                                                                    The only thing services can do is increase the barrier to creating a new account. Paid services do this by allowing only one account to have the same credit card. Of course, you could have multiple credit card numbers, but it's not easy getting another one.

                                                                                    [–]piercy08 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

My entire office consisting of 8 long term redditors got banned due to one person getting into an argument on reddit and calling someone by their first name. I'm happy to demonstrate it for you if you like, but the video OP posted already does.

This tells me they set a cookie in Chrome, they did not ban the IP serverside or he wouldn't be able to use Firefox either.

                                                                                        I mean duh. They log your IP. All accounts you had associated with the IP when 1 of your accounts was banned are also banned. That's the entire point of stopping spammers creating bots to spam the shit out of this website. It works as intended for the most part.

                                                                                        Now I will say it's not being used as intended. Actual users who break the broad and vague spectrum of reddit rules, say harassing a user via PM, that person should at least get a message saying they've been banned from reddit for such reason.

                                                                                        [–]kalanosh 112ポイント113ポイント  (15子コメント)

Incognito doesn't change your IP. So they have a session ID associate with that browsers process. Your browser stores that session ID like a temp cookie.

                                                                                        His account that got shadowban first was deliberately spamming to trigger it. He then open the new account on the non-incognito window and he didn't get banned. Once he logout out of the shadowban account and loged into the new account he tripped a red flag. The Shadowban account is on the same session ID as this new account. That like having an IP, connected to a computer, thats connected to that one user still open browsers session id.

                                                                                        Once you close your browser window it wipes the session ID.

                                                                                        That what I think happened.

                                                                                        [–]aveman101 68ポイント69ポイント  (4子コメント)

                                                                                        This is the point that most people here are missing. The guy in the video even described NumberWangBot as something that "just writes a bunch of spam".

                                                                                        [–]kalanosh 23ポイント24ポイント  (0子コメント)

                                                                                        I am guessing they are using a Session ID cookie. So two users logged in, they grab the session ID see there are two or there is one present and check it to see who user attached to it during their login.

                                                                                        [–]OrangeJuiceFarmer 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

This system sounds good in theory bit results in a lot of innocent people being banned as well.

                                                                                            [–]Grandfather_Clock 21ポイント22ポイント  (4子コメント)

The video was deemed too political, though the video itself didn't comment on the event. It was just a portrayal of some idiots stopping people from getting an education. So no, /r/videos is not the bastion of free speech on reddit.

                                                                                            ' 4. No Videos of Police Brutality or Police Harassment'

                                                                                                      I never got to speak to the admin who banned me and was only told by another admin (sporkicide) that the note left was that I "brigaded" and no admin ever responded when I asked for details or anything. I didn't even know wtf a brigade was. 5+ year account gone lol

                                                                                                      Not really. I was using a couple of accounts for vote manipulation a month or two ago and I was shadowbanned, as were all the other accounts. I jumped to this one and asked why I was even bothering with vote manipulation anyway. After a day or two, they had shadowbanned this account despite it being unconnected recently. I messaged them and asked why, they said vote manipulation. I admitted it and they said "Don't do it again" and lifted the ban. On top of that, I got a response within a couple of hours.

                                                                                                      I don't know why other people are having so much trouble. Anytime I've ever had to message the admins for whatever reason (including reclaiming a subreddit from a dead account) they've been really prompt.

                                                                                                      I'm not defending reddit as a whole, things are going seriously downhill, but I haven't had any disrespect from the admins here. I was polite, they were polite.

Even the admins that said shadow banning was being abused said they created it originally to prevent spam. Then a dude creates a bot that spams and gets shadow banned. Then the same dude creates a bunch of accounts to try and circumvent the ban and gets IP banned.

                                                                                                          This seems like shadow banning working as intended here.

We assumed this was because she repeatedly posted content from her own site to a subreddit. However, this subreddit continuously loved her content, upvoted it highly, and the mods never once said anything. She engaged in the rest of the subreddit on a daily basis, and only posted her own content perhaps once every 2 weeks. But she was shadowbanned for this. Surely it should be up to the community to moderate its own content. I understand why self-promotion isn't Reddiquette but there's a difference between self promotion of good content that the community wants and protecting against marketing and spammers. Reminds me of this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOtuEDgYTwI

According to the admins I was part of a "brigade" on /r/fphrecovery. Turns out I had found myself in that sub about three months ago and had downvoted a single post.

                                                                                                              A single post.. and I was brigading. Watch what you disagree with out there people.

Are they out of their fucking minds? That's like making it illegal to yell at people on the streets of NYC.

It's about the fact that a group of users come from another subreddit and users upvote/downvote posts because these posts go against the subreddit they come from!

                                                                                                              This is why /r/ShitRedditSays is usually accused of brigading. Someone posts a comment from another subreddit (usually in the 100+ points range) and after a few days the post will be a lot lower (lets say ~0 points). This is literally brigading.

                                                                                                              Now you may have brigaded (whether you were aware of it or not) and therefor shadowbanned.

I guess in the case of spam bots you don't want them to realize and just make a new account. But why for a legitimate account that just broke rules?

                                                                                                                    When you are participating in the community its pretty easy to realize when you are shadowbanned.

It's the fact that I don't know. I might write valid discussions and attempt to make a point, and it doesn't matter. The thought of spending several weeks trying to be friendly and converse and nothing happening is what scares me. I would much prefer a "you are banned" message than just praying that i'm not banned.

                                                                                                                                    You know, most reddit profiling is done on your own browser. reddit saves the recent activity of profiles on your browser in cookies, so you can dodge this basic level of profiling pretty easy just by clearing your cookies.

                                                                                                                                    If you want proof of this, you can look at your network traffic in chrome, or download a cookie-editor like "EditThisCookie". There's a field called <account name>_recentclicks2 that keeps track of which account has accessed reddit from that chrome session, and a brief history of what content they've accessed.

                                                                                                                                    See, the reason this user keeps getting banned specifically in chrome is because they keep sending the same recent-access information, shadowbanned accounts and all, every time they log in, and the account is immediately flagged. That's why they can make accounts in firefox, and not chrome.

                                                                                                                                    I'd bet a month of reddit gold that if they logged out of reddit entirely, cleared cookies, and tried logging in again, the account wouldn't get banned.

                                                                                                                                    [–]SHCreeper 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

I was using my old account for 5 month only to realize they shadowbanned me from start. I was completely puzzled wtf no one ever replay to my comments or interact with me, at the moment I had no clue about shadowbanning, when I heard of it, I checked and made a new account.
