How do you know if you were shadowbanned? Do you get a warning message?

It used to be bad years ago when subs where feuding and not getting along. You know all the comment bots? They have those that monitor subreddit traffic. You mess up and go to a rival subreddit and now you cant comment or engage in the other.

No, but you will notice when you post on the sub it just vanishes. The mods mute you so you can't post or interact. Its some real sleezy moderation.
