I wish this site would be less heavy handed when it comes to shadow banning. It seems like a significant number of comments ends up getting shadow banned and I find it both frustrating and a bit insulting. Compared to here, Reddit is an oasis of free speech.

I had an account for YEARS here. One day I was shadow banned because I accidentally responded to the wrong comment, it was just out of context, and boom. Found out a f’n year later when some nice person told me I was banned. I spent so much time and effort “helping” people for nothing during that year. I don’t help anymore as that was a d** move. I’ll probably be banned again for this comment.

I had a similar thing happen to me, not here but on Reddit. Was shadowbanned for no reason (never learned what it was) on an account where i treated everybody with respect. I created a new account, but from that day on i started behaving like shit on the website. I knew accounts were worth nothing if they could get randomly shadowbanned so I started acting like so.
