But why not kick them out? Why bother with a shadow site for them?
- sneak 5mo agoThe same reason people get shadowbanned. If they know they are banned they will attempt to work around it.
- SubiculumCode 5mo agoOne day I'll find out that I've been shadow banned from HN, and all of you were bots all along, lolz
- childintime 5mo agoThat defines planet earth nicely. Everybody here is shadow banned and has issues to sort out.
- metamet 5mo agoIf they don't know they're being quarantined, there's no reason for them to find a way around their block. They'll eventually tucker themselves out and move on to whatever their internet equivalent of burning ants with a magnifying glass is.
- hopfog 5mo agoI used to run a small MMORPG. I only had to ban a player once but when I did they made it their life's mission to get around it and spam profanities. They went through every proxy in existence and I had to resort to banning whole IP ranges to keep them out.
- nkrisc 5mo agoIf they believe they’re still trolling people they will keep doing so and won’t make an alternative account and will keep harassing bots instead of real people.
