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.

Get the Pulling a Banning mug.
A school filled with crap teachers only few can teach. Rich white kids all around. Fights almost every day. Everyone is up in each others business and the dress code sucks. No one gives to shits about grades. The principal even quit 2 days in. This school is crap and no one should go there. Drugs are bad and so is vaping. Go somewhere else snooty white kids whose parents don’t give two shits
