I face this issue regularly on Reddit. I've noticed two things:
1. Sometimes it is accidental and some automated filter does this.
2. Sometimes it is done by a mod who didn't like what you posted, and shadowbans the post instead of deleting it. The hope is that you don't find out about this because otherwise you may enquire about the decision, and other mods will get involved in discussing it and over-rule the previous decision.
- tinus_hn 6y agoOn Reddit only the admins can shadowban, not the mods.
- webmobdev 6y agoBy admin, I assume you mean mods who have "full permissions" right? Some of the popular subreddits do have have a lot mods with such rights.
- random_dude_38 6y agoIm pretty sure only paid janitors aka "anti evil operations" can shadowban. Mods with full permissions are still just mods.
