Shadowban

A Shadowban is an excuse trolls and sad people use to justify why no one bothers to read, reply or like the content that they post online. They assume that it must be because their content is hidden from public view, in fact they're just boring.
I know for sure I've been shadowbanned because hardly anyone comments or likes my posts on Twitter. It's definitely a shadowban conspiracy because I know, I'm like, genius, and everyone would be amazed by my super-radical views.

Shadowban

In PC or Console gaming, this is when those who are caught cheating, hacking, or modding, are still allowed to play the game, but are placed on servers that only contain other cheaters, hackers, and/or modders. An example of a developer using this practice would be the Dark Souls Franchise.
I modded my weapon to do extra damage in Dark Souls, I got caught and now I've been shadowbanned.

shadowban

Banning a user from a web forum in such a way that the banned user is unaware of the ban. Usually takes the form of showing that user's posts/profile/etc. only to that user; other users never see them. Considered underhanded chicken-shit behavior.
Fark has turned into a bunch of shadowbanning pricks.

Shadowbane

MMORPG with an amazing PvP system, completely dominating every other MMO on the market. Ruined by shoddy programming and terrible customer support. If you decide to play then prepare to weep.

I had fun playing Shadowbane until I crashed 3 times in 10 minutes.
