Just one comment about vouch, which seems to have have changed behaviour fairly recently.
Used to be that if a shadowbanned user posted a clearly substantive comment a vouch would always (nearly always?) restore it. Now it never does - I guess vouch is now just a vote that needs x votes.
Suspect that's going to unintentionally have even more people talking to themselves, because they've not yet noticed the shadowban.
- krapp 8y agoIt is possible to lose vouching privileges if the mods feel the comments you're vouching for are uncivil or do more harm than good.
- NeedMoreTea 8y agoThat's also possible. Don't think I have vouched for something that shouldn't, but I would say that, wouldn't I? :) So have others noticed a change, or did I accidentally flag my own account somehow?

- gjs278 8y agothey notify you when you get banned. i’m currently one of them. I didn’t notice for a few days though because the site doesn’t have an obvious way of notifying you when you get a reply.
