[dead] means the account is shadow-banned. You can see them because you have changed the default of “show dead” in your user settings. Otherwise you wouldn’t see the post. You have to be a bad boy or girl to earn that badge. Voting isn’t allowed (probably) because votes no longer make a difference.
And the points on a post are not displayed to anyone but the one who posted the comment.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoDon't posts also say "[dead]" when they reach -4?
- philipkglass 3y agoYou're probably thinking of [flagged] [dead]. People can keep downvoting a -4 post indefinitely and it won't do anything to hide the post or reduce the poster's karma total. People have to separately flag the post, apart from downvoting, for it to become [flagged] [dead]. It's easy to misinterpret because posts that attract heavy downvoting also tend to attract flagging.
