Ghosting...on forums. What's that and how does it work? Why would it be needed/required? Mods could chime in too if they like.

*edit* Oh...and something called 'shadowbanning'....can that be explained as well? How, why etc? Thnx.

I’ve only heard of ghosting in the context of unexpectedly going AWOL on someone not so much on a forum where it’s somewhat expected people come and go and typically but not always come back.

Shadow banning I can’t really think of where this actually happens (it I guess can happen on Reddit) but it’s when a user has been “banned” without their knowledge (so they think they’re commenting and posting but they’re not)

I’ve noticed this too. But I guess people just like to stick to certain threads.

I feel ghosted as well
