in what ways do you think kbin should strive to be different from Reddit?

    Shadowbanning. Either outright ban someone and let the community know why, or don’t. That’s it! Transparency and honesty are the way to go. Arguably this is more of a moderator/admin morality issue than anything else, but still.

      Any ban should be transparent to the users.

      Vulcan was a victim of the Snoo Shadowbans, apparently due to usage of VPN services.

        Yeah, unfortunately the good outweighs the bad in regards to this I think.

      This I disagree, I believe it’s useful to let trolls and spam bots talking to themselves, alerting of a ban will only make them to take measures to circumvent the block. The problem would be mod abuse, not the tool.
