View submission: Site Wide Shadow Banned Users

View parent comment

I have come across shadow banned users who came to reddit to spam, but then decided to hang around and do legitimate posts.

I should probably do like you have and make a prefabbed response for the non-spammers.

I could put it in my wiki, and cut-and-paste from there as needed.

I use r/toolbox's mod macros feature to approve+comment+lock, and I also put a user tag to know who I've already told (and as an added bonus notice when their comments/posts go through after they're un-shadowbanned)

Other options are flair helper bot for posts at least.

Or you can add automod rules, that work like if you comment saying:

I think you're shadowbanned, summoning information for you !shadowban - see the comment below mine

And automod sees the `!shadowban` and replies to you with all the details OP will need.

I can share code if anyone needs it.
