They fingerprint users and ban all associated accounts.
...and believe it or not, it takes months of appeals for some Shadowbanned users to have their appeal lifted. What I'm not sure about is if there is a hidden ban length, and if submitting an appeal automatically lifts the ban if the ban length has passed. I'm guessing that this is the actual case of how it all works.
- ryandrake 1y agoNone of this should really matter. At the end of the day, the company is being hostile to you. Bans, and shadowbans, and appeals, and appeals to appeals... good grief! They're telling you they don't like you and they don't want you around. Why do you care so much about the mechanics of the automation they use to tell you to go away? Life is too short. I remember I was banned from Fark once. Remember Fark? I was actually a paying member, too! It was the last time I visited or even thought about the site (until writing this comment). It didn't even remotely occur to me to try to understand the banning mechanism or what appeal options I have. I'm not going to grovel and beg some stupid website to let me back in if they don't want me around!
