In the past, you've said made the more narrow qualification that shadow banning should only be used on spam *bots*. You've said "real users should never be shadowbanned" (screenshot[1]) (which of course they have been in many widely talked-about instances in this censorship debate, /u/dancingqueen90 and /u/go1dfish[2], for example).

Do you still stand behind that, or do you now feel that it may be appropriate to sometimes use on real people who engage in behavior that could be considered to be "spamming"?

Also, how would you feel about putting down something about shadow banning in an official policy somewhere so that people know how it's intended to be used, and know what to do if they are improperly shadowbanned?
