Is there any way to view new stories that have been banned or shadowbanned or spam filtered? My buddy just asked why he wasn't getting any comments or upvotes. I checked his profile and also new stories list and nothing was showing up. Apparently he's been shadow banned. I remember there was a url like /banned or something or /dark or /shadow that showed these stories and if you upvoted them you got out of spam. Anyone remembers the url?
If you set "showdead" to "yes" in your user profile, you'll see dead stories/comments.<p>I've never heard of any way to display <i>only</i> the dead items, but there may be one.
He can try emailing the mods to see if they'll unban him.<p>I don't think user voting can unban hellbanned users. It's a nice idea though.
