Wow is that true?

- gamedever 2y agoyou have gained a rep enough to not be ghost banned somehow. the ghost banning makes it hard to make a temp account to whistle blow. And, even if you weren't whistle blowing bit making legit comment, it won't appear until you pass that threshold of not being shadowbanned, at which point your comment is worthless since it's days or weeks later
- scrlk 2y agoI have showdead enabled in my profile and I sometimes see new users that are shadowbanned (i.e. their posts/comments are automatically "dead"). If it's not spam or low quality, I'll vouch for them.
