Shadow Banning

Shadow banning, also called stealth banning, ghost banning or comment ghosting, is the act of blocking or partially blocking a user or their content from an online community so that it will not be readily apparent to the user that they have been banned. For instance, shadow banned comments posted to a blog or media website will not be visible to other persons accessing that site from their computers.

By partly concealing, or making a user's contributions invisible or less prominent to other members of the service, the hope may be that in the absence of reactions to their comments, the problematic or otherwise out-of-favour user will become bored or frustrated and leave the site, and that spammers and trolls will not create new accounts.

I was trolling a snowflake FB group and got my ass shadow banned, it was fun while it lasted.

Dude i have to keep shadow banning these extremists for posting lies and fake news.

4am Shadow

The typical hair growth around the pubic area that a stripper develops after a 9 hour shift. Typically equivalent to a day's worth of facial hair growth on a baboon.

Upon visiting Cafe Risque, the blonde stripper had an evident 4am shadow and showed extreme displeasure at still being at work.

Shadow Walker

One who walks the line between light and dark, with no ties to either side. With no morals or emotions clouding their judgment, a Shadow Walker is able to accomplish tasks and solve problems in the most efficient and logical way.

Shadow Walkers are also a small secretive sect of Force wielders which pull from both the light and dark side, giving them immeasurable power.

The Grand Master of the Shadow Walkers, Glaiven, killed the child in order to save the city. "It had to be done. It is as simple as that." he said when his actions were later questioned.

Shadow realm

The shadow realm is where the UFC fighter Francis Ngannou sends people after he beats the shit out of them.

Shadow Realm

1. A place of eternal mediocrity that men are sent after they're beaten publicly and their soul/dreams/careers are destroyed forever. Usually it's televised live to millions of people. Notable members are George Masvidal and Benjamin Askren. There is no escape from the shadow realm, the resident's unfortunate demise will forever be remembered and will outshine ALL of their other life accomplishments. Travelers to the shadow realm usually get there by talking mad sh*t to their opponents and not backing it up, being forced to eat their words along with their integrity. No one will ever believe anything they say again and they will forever be doubted. Fans and supporters will mourn these fighters but eventually accept that they were never truly who they believed they were. Sad indeed RIP.

Fighter 1: I beat him any way I want, I dominate him the whole time...
Fighter 1: (shadow realm)

Fighter 2: He wasn't blessed with that manliness to where he can hurt another man with his hands, all he can do is hug...

Shadow Cake

A scrumptious fluffy vanilla baked delight with a deceiving layer of froth between its breading-of-an-angel texture and top layer of yodel chocolate shell. Usually found in Shoprite. Purchased at twilight and consumed with immediate haste.

Shadow cake?! Got any forks?
