Show HN: Reveddit.com: Improving online discourse with transparent moderation
I&#x27;m of the view that users subjected to an outright shadow ban should at least have a civil cause of action available for all the time they unnecessarily wasted writing comments that no one else will ever see.<p>If that was established perhaps we&#x27;d see the despicable practice go away.<p>There are a few cases where I can <i>almost</i> see it as justified-- not spam as its trivial for spammers to automate detection of-- but certain kind of obsessive mentally ill-people that will forever shout their abusive and disruptive comments into the void if shadowbanned but get a new account if they are informed.  But that fringe case just can&#x27;t justify the abuse against more reasonable people, particular in a world where users are frequently actioned against in error.
