How do you know that someone else has been banned? How do you know if YOU have? What's "hellbanned"? What's "shadow banned"?

- k3n 14y agoYou can look them up (the terms that is, not the users), but here's a good start: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/06/suspension-ban-or-hellban.html http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/06/suspension-ban-or-h... I think they're the same (or at least similar), and basically you're invisible to everyone but yourself. This is a 'safer' form of banning, as someone who is outright banned would notice right away and might try to get revenge in some way. But, if everything works just like always and they don't realize they're banned, then they won't get upset (and won't raise hell).
