Mods are as much of a problem as they are a help. They rule subreddits like gods and (lots) abuse the shadow ban/delete system to silence opinions they don't like. Lots of others sell out to various influencers/advertisers and help promote whatever they want.

Mods cannot shadowban users. Only admins can do that.

  Enh, sort of. You can write an Automod rule to always remove content from one or more specific users.

    That's not a shadow ban. The differentiator that makes it "shadow" is that the user does not know that it has occurred.

      The user doesn't know their posts were deleted. Other users don't know that mods removed the post either. It just shows as deleted.
