User redis_mlc has been shadowbanned for eight months which is an abhorrent practice. He is a prolific contributor, but most readers will never see his comments. Occasionally, a reader with showdead:yes in the options and sufficient karma will "vouch" a post back into general visibility.

Note that the verdict by HN moderator dang talks of a regular ban: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25011268

Moderation does not care about right or wrong, truthful or fake, moral or immoral.

Moderation cares about harmonic or controversial. There isn't even a "group think", as that would imply direction and consistency.
