A shadow ban is a ban that is basically secret. You don't see that you are shadow banned, but when you make a post, it does not display to the rest of reddit. It's basically a form of sneaky censorship originally intended to be used against bots - now some administrator is using it to silence opinions that he doesn't like.

It's strange because the people calling out the admin aren't being shadowbanned, like he/she is trying to make sure it's not obvious. Definitely sounds like an immature person doing this.
