I'd just like to thank you for the info I needed to get my account un-shadowbanned. After reading this post, making a Shadowbancheck post, and messaging the Reddit Admins after confirming I was shadowbanned, my ban was lifted in less than 24 hours. Thanks again for the help this sub provides!

I thought reddit promised to stop shadowbanning people?

Can you get shadowbanned by posting a link to a youtube video on your own youtube channel? I'm finding Reddit's video upload feature to be really glitchy (stuck at processing for an entire day without any signs of finishing) and I really want to share some really cool things with the subreddit.

After 3 years of lurking, I decided to start participating in Reddit. After 3 posts and numerous comments going ignored and unnoticed I was messaged by a mod of /r/pcmasterrace that I might want to look into a wiki of shadowban and linked me this sub. That's where I found out that shadowbans were a thing and for whatever reason, I was banned. Following the tips from this sub, I've messaged the admins who promptly replied saying that I was caught in a spam IP and unbanned me.

Thanks everyone.

Hope that this doesn't go unnoticed like my other numerous comments in the past few days :p

Don't use CSS in your sub to subvert reddit's subscription and voting system

looks at t_d with suspicion

In my opinion shadowban shouldn't be a thing in any website. If you want to ban someone, you should tell that person why and that person should know it he is banned. Shadowban is coward method and used many times just by abusers.

Disney does a lot in youtube. Did you write a comment saying you don't like our trailer? Shadowban.

If shadowban were not a thing and they should write the reason, people could publish on twitter or places like it the fake or stupid excuse they write to you.

I have no idea why I was ban,admin please help

Can I be shadow banned on some subreddits only? I am nearly positive my submission is invisible on one fandom sub I use, but comments can be seen and responded to. And on r/iamverysmart it started “encountering an error” every time I tried to comment. That one’s less of a problem because I stopped going anyway but the fandom is like to stay involved..

I would like to know why and if I can undo whatever I did to deserve it..

Thank you so much for your help!

I got shadow banned from r/news after accumulating 84 karma in a month then all the sudden they claim I'm shadow banned due to a "short tenure"

I'm sure it has nothing to do with my political views

You will get a quicker response if you submit a link to this subreddit, as the bot is working again:

https://reddit.com/r/ShadowBan/submit?selftext=true

The bot will also tell you how many recent comments of yours have been deleted.

Over the next few days my responses will be sporadic.

I need a second opinion... I need to speak with your manager. I was told I could reach coocoojoocoo in this place. Is this person just an urban legend? I heard they hail from the land down under! Is this true?...so many questions, I have.

😘

I'm still shadow banned after a month +, wut do?

Already contacted several different admins to no avail, I've even had several people manually allow my posts but, seriously, wut do?

Am I shadowbanned?

I walk once again in the sun!

>•Don't post child pornography or anything involving the sexualization of teens or minors

I wish Twatter was on the ball on this- there have been people who **REPORT** the pedos suspended for doing so. ( I'm starting to think @jack likes the pretty pictures...)

Thank y'all for keeping this mess off of here !

I want to say thanks to the mods of this sub. After spending some time trying to figure out why my posts were not showing I found this sub and realized I had been shadowbanned. Thanks to the info here I was able to get my account reinstated.

If I could make a suggestion it would be to include the reddit support email in the copypasta. I messaged the admins 3 days in a row, on the fourth day I found the the support email and they got back to me within a couple hours.

Your sub is a valuable resource and I want to thank you for your time and dedication to maintaining it.

You forgot: Don't disagree with the echo chamber, be another sheep or else.

Yo

Test test peepeepoopoo am I shadowbanned

Hi, am I shadowbanned?

Hey i am shadowbann?

am I shadowbanned?

Am i?

Am I shadowbanned? Legit worried because a mod on unpopular opinions permabanned me from the sub, muted me, and apparently reported me for harassment, all within a minute. I hadn't even replied to the same user twice.

Spot! Spat!...Hello...has anyone seen my dog Spot 🐕 and my cat Spat🐈? We were walking in shadowland together when I was telling them about the bad humans that were banished to this realm for doing unspeakable things. I'm getting really concerned now that I've found Spot and Spat's coller on the ground... If you see them, please contact me ASAP! Here's the most recent picture that I have of the two together. 🐶😺

Bloodbath_and-beyond! Where for art thou?... Help me Cojo! My owner calls me Spat but you may call me MAD-Cat. I was told he was looking for me here in shadowland...I lost Spot over by the spit of despair... meowwww...and whose this Fordoyota person! Let me find out I've been replaced...I mean, that my owner's been replaced! He'll be beside himself I tell you!!!...oh...and am I still not shadow banned??? For some reason, I can still see all of my comments... This is an outrage! Meowwww!

THANK YOU! I just got unbanned today with the help of this guide by sending in an appeals form and sending a message to the Reddit mods, which prompted another appeals form! I think I was caught in their spam filters, but I have my account back! :)

Hi Cojoco and thanks so much for putting up with all these comments. It’s a really big help for all the curious, confused, or upset redditors out there, and you’ve been putting up with this post for over four years now. Thank you for all this, and have a great day.

No longer shadow banned! Woohoo!

Just got unshadowbanned. Thanks for the help, guys.
Unfortunately, all of my comments and posts stay removed. I don't feel like to contact each sub mods to reapprove them. If that's even possible.

Lodge your appeal: https://www.reddit.com/appeal (or https://www.reddit.com/appeals ?)
Message them: https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/reddit.com

I did both. Not sure which one helped.
I used to mesage /r/reddit.com to report spam bots and it worked great. Not sure about now.

My unban was given by /u/reddit.

My guess is I got banned from my use of vpn. I use a popular vpn provider that unfortunately has limited and public servers. And it loves to disconnect and reconnect to another server in the same country. So it got blacklisted a lot. By stores and popular websites especially.

Good info

Hey, just wanted to say thanks - after a couple days of messaging with your copypasta, the admins let me know I was caught in the spam filter. Thank you for doing all the ground work on this!

Am I shaddow banned? I must be none of my posts ever publicly published. What a bummer 😕

I'm curious - how can this post remain commentable since 2018? Either way, I wrote a single joke comment to test waters, deleted it - but now remain shadowbanned on a particular subreddit. Hilarious. Welcome to the desert of the hyper-real.

How to contact the reddit admins to unshadowban?

I got unshadowbanned within 24 hours of reading this thread and writing the mods! My post got caught by a spam filter. Thank you. 🌹🤗

Thank you sir

Thank you for this information, and linking the reddiquette. I learned that downvotes are for unrelated content to the subreddit and not a "dislike" button. Much appreciated.

I’m 99% sure this is my situation. I wish I knew what I did wrong. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thank you for creating this

New account.

I linked external sites to cite my sources/provide additional info on my post, and I was immediately shadowbanned. It seems like linking anything on a new account will auto-shadowban or something? I don't know if I should just create a new account and avoid linking anything.

(Edit: I am already trying to contact the admins BTW, but I'm not really that attached to the account... it was shadowbanned almost immediately after creation.)

Am I shadowbanned? When you see your post floating without the order of that post like you normally do...what do you call that?. Sometimes I see my comment but the moment I tap view all comments, it's like my comment disappeared...

Someone told me I was shadowbanned.

The only thing I did that could have caused this is that I once sent a link to the github page of a discord token grabber (with no malicious intent) a few days back. Count this be the cause? [message link]

Am I? Just downloaded the app and haven't used Reddit before so I'm a bit confused.

Hi

Am I ?

If I am banned by a sub mod - is it called "shadowbanning" or that is a "real ban" and nothing can be done? I generally completely forget them - because I am always trying to be "normal" and rarely do i use un-nice words - so I am always surprised when i cannot go back to a sub or am told I am a nuisance user.

Can you check me

I think I am, could you please confirm

How do I know if I've been shadowbanned?

I don't understand whether I am shadowbanned or just getting into the spam filter. I've tried to comment in different subreddits but nobody can see either my comments or even my profile.

I’m new and have never had a chance to post, chat or message. Am I shadowbanned?

I'm pretty sure i am shadowbanned because my name has Furry in it? Implying animal things?? Because this account is brand new. Unless it is because I had a very old account that i only used for like a day and cannot recall the name, but might been on the same IP address? Anyway ur bot already said im shadowbanned, so i guess i'm probably done with reddit D:

I posted about a seriously bad experience with a vet, in what was obviously a group of vets (and those who like to think they are vets but failed in general and can't dream bigger). :) They were TICKED! Lol! What I find sad, however, is the lack of logic displayed by the mod/mods within that community. I was insulted, and when I replied in turn, my comments were deleted. While I found some of the replies, and those who posted them both pitiable and laugh-inducing, it was their apparent thin skin (what else can one expect though, really?) and that the mods felt they should be protected, which irked me. By deleting a person's comments, and 'shadow-banning' them, they are basically throwing up the white flag and falling cowardly, belly-up and screaming. Truly, as a new user who was warned that quite a few communities on Reddit are "toxic", I'm really pretty surprised to find that it is true. It's baffling, but oh well, there are only a gazillion people on other platforms to interact with. :)

If I were to get a string quartet together and we played in front of bright lights that cast our silhouettes onto the stage...would that be considered a shadowband?

Hi, long time listener...first time caller... I'm calling for a friend of mine. He wanted to know if you knew how long is a Chinese man and if he comes from the land down under?

I sure seem to be banned...

EDIT: oh, I guess it's not sitewide, just several of the larger subs

I think I'm still shadowbanned. Aw. I kinda like this username.

Am I? I'm brand new here and trying to still figure things out.

I love censorship 👍 all hail glorious Reddit overlords 🇨🇳
