I agree. The Reddit shadowban system just seems...slimy. "We're going to ban you but we're not going to tell you you've been banned and not give you a reason. We're just going to let you keep going until you start wondering why no one is responding to you."

... The whole system is actually a good idea. It gives trolls and advertisers and vote manipulating bots no idea that nothing actually gets through. The only problem is is that it's just an effective tool for silent censorship.
Agreed it IS slimy and it was a purposeful deceiving tool that kept people coming back to the site to keep the traffic up all the while being unwittingly used as puppets by those who created, admin, and mod the site to push their agenda. It's a despicable tool used by those who wish in their hearts to be our masters.

Yes, but make it public, give specific reasons, and allow for some codified means of appeal.
