Ok, didn't knew that. Still a dick move on HN's part. Shadowing should be restricted to abusers.

- Wowfunhappy 2y agoWouldn't the submission get user flagged anyway? Because when people clicked it, they'd see something NSFW and devoid of interesting content.
- voytec 2y agoFlagged for what? In this case user - me - was unaware that submitted content gets replaced when requested with Referer header mentioning HN. There should be a 'you cannot post this' warning instead of hidden post creation. I only noticed shadowban by accident: switched to logged-in browser to submit and went back to logged-out for browsing.
