You are more kind than most. I think the cruel part is that everything appears normal - but your are totally invisible. Google analytics was key to seeing an issue immediately.

If you've been banned or had a comment killed, it would be a basic courtesy to provide some sort of notification/reason in your profile.
- benaiah 13y agoag80, you appear to be hellbanned (ironically enough). Couldn't tell why from a glance at your commment history.
- ag80 13y agoIndeed, I was. An apparent false spam positive from my lone submission.

When I thought I had been shadow banned, it was like being banished from the internet. It really felt horrible. Knowing that I'd have gotten a warning/notification means if the site is slow, I'd brush it off as high latency. Now every time the site is a little slow, I panic and think I've been slow banned.
- kintamanimatt 13y agoYou can always just look at your comment history while you're logged out. If things are missing, you've been shadowbanned.
- ancarda 13y agoI just realized I meant to say "slow banned".
