- phpnode 13y agothat would just be a ban - the hell in hellban refers to the fact that you don't even know that you're a victim.
- kintamanimatt 13y agoYeah, to add to this further, the reason is to slow down the user so it takes them a while (if ever) to figure out they're banned, otherwise they'd just create a new account which would be more work for the mods and would drag down the quality of comments and content submitted. (Of course, this assumes the person being banned is being banned for justifiable reasons.)
