- shard972 6y agodang has an ego problem at times, but yep im shadowbanned so i guess bias
- szatkus 6y agoYou can turn on dead comments in your preferences and see all the nice things they have to say.
- throwaway0a5e 6y agoMost of the things they have to say are reasonable most of the time. Like mundane comments about programming languages and whatnot. I think they would be pretty pissed off to know that they've been banned for months or more because they said something that rubbed the mods the wrong way at one point.

We know, but some of us enjoy reminding Ian Murdock's friends-in-need of what they did. Preferably before it's their turn to ask for help...
- oefrha 6y ago> We can’t really ask the shadowbanned people what they think of the moderation because they’re shadowbanned. Just flip the showdead switch in settings and you can enjoy the infinite wisdom and feistiness of banned users. Can’t be easier. For instance, in this thread there’s exactly one banned sibling, making a gross, sexual personal attack.
- nindalf 6y agoWe don't know what they think of the moderation though. These folks aren't bright enough to know that they've been banned.
- hef19898 6y agoWhich always puzzles me. I have showdead on, just to get the whole picture. And because it is sometimes hilarious, to be honest. But how an you not realize you have been banned, when everyone on here is talking about it?
- oefrha 6y agoModerator-banned accounts usually get a moderation comment announcing they are banned. There are accounts killed by software though.
- dan-robertson 6y agoFar fewer people are shadowbanned these days. And I think if people are commenting reasonably without realising they are shadowbanned, dang will try to get in touch to let them know they are banned.
