Introducing Shadow Banning

Post by **rusty_shackleford** » April 1st, 2025, 17:02

HQ's newest and greatest feature has been introduced.
When you see a user with the "Shadow Banned" Rank, you are to not read their posts, react to their posts, or reply to their posts.

To assist in this, I have created a custom Augmented Reality Blocking Device. Please download the following image and print it out:

Here is an example of a Shadow Banned user:

As you can see, he has a "Shadow Banned" rank under his name.

When you see a user that is Shadow Banned, simply pick the printed out Augmented Reality Blocking Device up and place it over their post on your monitor until their post is no longer on screen.
Here is a simulation of what this will look like when using the Augmented Reality Blocking Device on the Shadow Banned user's post:

Thank you.

I suggest a 1d6 ban for reacting to a shadowbanned user.

Interacting with a Shadow Banned user is a violation of the rules. Please remember to use your Augmented Reality Blocking Device when you see a post from a Shadow Banned user. Thank you.

Recommend making shadow bans contagious. If someone interacts with whoever is shadow banned they join them. Could be fun.

Only one issue with this.

It's a small amount of work for Rusty.

Is this sarcasm or sincere?

Vergil when did you become so cryptic? Did I miss some important development?

No matter how many times you post this, I'm not going to click it. Put some effort in and turn it into a gif or a webm.

If that happened, @Kalarion would inevitably interact with someone who's shadow banned by rating his post and then eventually spread the plague to everybody on this site since he compulsively rates every post by anybody ever.
