And yet agreeing with a concise "get fucked" version results in downvotes, sadge

the "this" is what got you the downvotes, not the agreeing with. Because when you say "this", you also could've just upvoted.

You say that, but upvote seems to have disappeared, re shadow banning thread.

This is why shadow banning is just stupid, deal with confrontation and ban properly or not at all - that is ignoring all of the other people it affects, I share an IP with 1000s of people, it could be them or it could be me, who knows because there is no feedback.

I do find it pretty funny that this needs to be explained to a HN audience, but then it's verging on a tech support forum with all the Facebook and Apple woe is me....

Interesting, it does intermittently appear, perhaps ad blocking is filtering it, also maybe js disabled might be related.

that's just a JS thing. Shadow banning is a term coiled by people who don't understand that their content just doesn't gain any traction.
