Well, at least I can ask a question there. On reddit, your post just gets thrown away by a bot for not conforming to the rules that are buried somewhere. It's frustrating. On SO, even though it is likely that my ? won't be seen or read or answered, at least there is a chance as it is not auto-banned. Also, real quick: shadowbanning?! I mean, talk about terrible. You don't even know you are talking to no-one. Yes, yes, trolls, but still, it's just crazy what they have come up with to deal with them.

Just a heads up, we do that here too. Here it's a 'hellban'. You can see their posts if you go into your profile and set the showdead flag. You may already know that, but it's a very similar thing.
