Question about shadow banning.

If you can see a players' forum post on their wall but you can't see the comment in the actual forum does that mean they are shadow banned?

There is no such thing as shadow ban
if you can't see the comment they made either
you are on the wrong page
you missed it
it was removed by a mod
@for_cryingout_loud chat offenders ARE shadowbanned.

It appears to them as if they can still send messages in forums and chats, but nobody else sees it so they won't get any reactions.

If someone has forum posts in their activity log, but you can't access any of them, it's most likely due to a chatban.

wrong lichess can chat ban people
meaning they can't talk at all thats not shadowbanning thats chat ban
also whats the point if they can send messages but no one can see them
it is just a straight chat ban either way
why are you so cocky to claim you're in the right when you never experienced it firsthand (I did)

the point of shadowbanning, even when it appears to be mean, is to prevent chat offenders from making a new account for as long as possible until they realize

say Person A breaks the rules and gets banned. Nothing changes for them so they won't know right away. They send a message in a chat and it still appears on screen for *them*. To anyone else (except other shadowbanned people) all they write is invisible.
