Its a great tool to combat nefarious personae (both bots and humans). Its like a tarpit for smtpd/sshd (spamd on OpenBSD). Reddit is a free service to use, so it stands within reason their support dept. (which you'd contact concerning (shadow)bans) is sub-par. For paid subscribers, I would want my money (and time) back.

Reddit support does not intervene in disputes involving moderation or moderators - unless it's the subject of some virtual riot.

Shadowbanning seems mostly used to silence slightly different opinions, and that's what I have a problem with.
