if part of the way the shadowban works is that the banee isn't alerted, why are you alerting them which works against "the system"?

- adwn 4y agoBecause "the system" might have made a mistake. And even if the shadowban was warranted at some time, the poster might have improved their conduct in the meantime and should be given another chance. Usually, when I see a reasonable but dead comment, I vouch for it. If the commenter is shadowbanned and their other most recent comments are also reasonable and civil, I (sometimes) alert them to their status.
