- daveguy 10mo agoAdmins can turn off voting influence per user. I imagine shadowban comes with nonfunctional voting.
- yoyo250 10mo agoIt seems that newly registered accounts are currently shadowbanned by default. At least that's what I did. For example, when I send my first post, I find that I cannot see it on another device that is not logged in. It might not have been shut down Manually by the admins; HN has its own antispam system. In my opinion, these may automatically get you tagged and shadowbanned. - using a VPN - posting instead of comment immediately after registration - posts containing unusual links (like personal blogs)
