I've also had a partial "ghosting" along with "status reduction" but I never did ask for reinstatement etc... Eventually my posts were given legibility but the experience lessened my respect for this community, as my offending comment had to do with American fascism (pre Snowden revelations) but now I try not to "grind my axe" here when I'm downvoted. I have seen that some users here will downvote certain others regardless of the content of their posts and this practice is unbecoming of rational individuals. Apparently the powers-that-be notice this also, as I have regained some of my lost status, and some of my posts still receive upvotes, so I'd say that the moderation of this site is working as is.
