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.

actually, the shadowbans were done because of direct-linking to this thread on a forum. anyone that got here through that other forum were considered "vote-brigading."

if you're wondering what vote brigading is, it's basically what SRS does all the time without consequence. you link things you don't like into forums where people would agree with your opinion and then people can upvote/downvote it the same way you would. it's a large scale version of what unidan was shadowbanned for and is a legit reason for ban.
