I see this from time to time and it frustrates me. I would love it if people above a karma threshold could vouch for shadowbanned users with a recent history of more constructive comments.

If you click the timestamp of the comment there should be a [vouch] link.

If you've checked the comment history and the comments seem ok I guess you can email the mods to let them know.

Ah, you're totally right, I bet an email would work in particularly unfortunate cases.

> vouch for shadowbanned users

I have vouched for perhaps hundreds of shadowbanned comments, is that what you mean? Or vouching for a user directly?

A user directly. I don't think vouching for the comments does anything because they're already shadowbanned. (I may be wrong.)
