From the same thread.

I very much agree with this poster.

Shadowbanning is not very effective against spammers, and this should not be the only case for what seems like a dubious practice.

A spammer will know when he is shadowbanned because his campaign will stop generating activity, to which he will investigate.

Notifying a spammer his account has been removed/acted against is effective as it lets the spammer know his activity wont be tolerated and is monitored-- if he continues to spam here, he is likely wasting his time.

Source: I may have spammed, and know many who spam.

There has to by another way to deal with spammers without risking the abuse of shadowbanning.
