https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_banning
I'm aware of shadow banning as a concept. But this is different isn't it? A shadow ban let's somebody post to a community, while not letting them know that they have been banned. Clever, I guess, but intentionally opaque and it doesn't sit right with me ideologically. As an admin, I would love this feature though. Interesting that I have a different position on voting vs posting. Maybe I have a deeper belief that an individual's comments matter more than their votes.
