> We can’t really ask the shadowbanned people what they think of the moderation because they’re shadowbanned.

Just flip the showdead switch in settings and you can enjoy the infinite wisdom and feistiness of banned users. Can’t be easier. For instance, in this thread there’s exactly one banned sibling, making a gross, sexual personal attack.

We don't know what they think of the moderation though. These folks aren't bright enough to know that they've been banned.

Which always puzzles me. I have showdead on, just to get the whole picture. And because it is sometimes hilarious, to be honest. But how an you not realize you have been banned, when everyone on here is talking about it?

Moderator-banned accounts usually get a moderation comment announcing they are banned. There are accounts killed by software though.
