Does TPU implement 'shadowbanning'?

Does TPU hide posts if users have triggered word filters, been reported but not infracted, etc.

I'm probably just being oversensitive but, figured I'd get the official answer rather than letting the question knock around.
(X/Twitter + other Social Media/Forums do this (covertly) to an extreme degree)

been reported but not infracted

No. There have been a bunch of obvious spam/advertising/scam posts that get reported many many times before a mod can get to them. I have seen a small red triangle with exclamation mark beside the report button; I assume that means that post has gotten multiple reports.

If it can be done it will be done.

They get tagged low quality posts and get spoilered.

Low quality posts are hidden until expanded. Posts are not automatically flagged.

The only thing resembling a shadow ban is reply ban from an individual thread. Like LQ, it's another lighter response that doesn't involve points, but a hint not to continue doing that stuff

Exclamation mark triangle is a post that has been acted upon and received infraction points

Some people have tried to feign ignorance upon being infracted for knowingly participating in shit-flinging, so we made sure that warnings are visible.

If it can be done it will be done.

Nice try. That's not how we roll.

I wouldn't put what social media sites like meta and crap on here. What Meta does is censorship via shadow banning. Twitter was an arm of the democratic party for example, that is till it was bought out. That really pissed Biden off lmao. Anyways, these are two very different things.

Hey now... No red flagging yourself for moderation, in a thread asking about moderation

I've watched MANY communities succumb to 'modern-ism' as a matter of continuing operation/funding.

In Other Words: I'm jaded AF, and wanted to make sure that I was merely being paranoid (about one of my favorite online communities)

Cool. I was hoping for this to be the case. Thank you for the clarifications.
I'll stop worrying about it until I see/hear rumblings of W1zz retiring or site being sold to a media agency

Nice try. That's not how we roll.

I'm almost as jaded as The Salty Duck .

That's not how we do things here buddy.

Please keep politics out of here. It's part of what keeps us somewhat different.
