I wouldn't be surprised if some of their shadowban logic was more lenient on accounts that had a lot of karma, to avoid high-profile embarrassing mistakes? Just a guess.
- lpcvoid 5y agoI don't see how banning a high karma account would be embarrassing? I didn't even know that people cared about karma on Reddit.
- oconnor663 5y agoJust that high karma accounts are marginally likelier to be subreddit mods or whatever? Again just a baseless guess on my part.
- Lammy 5y agoLuckily for Reddit it can only be highly embarrassing if people actually notice and raise a stink, which shadowbanning is designed to avoid. The shadowbanned user may just naturally get sick of the lack of interaction and leave the site, like this top /r/worldnews moderator with 14mil Karma who has been shadowbanned since July last year: https://old.reddit.com/user/maxwellhill https://old.reddit.com/user/maxwellhill
- mywittyname 5y agoIt would be interesting if their shadow-ban logic actually gave users upvotes at random for posts.
- malwarebytess 5y agothey're not shadowbanned. Where did you get that idea from? This is what the profile of a shadowbanned user looks like for everyone but the user: https://www.reddit.com/user/Soggy_Bed6887 https://www.reddit.com/user/Soggy_Bed6887
- Pokepokalypse 5y agoLol. That's the supposed Gislane Maxwell account, right?
