You aren’t. If you are suspended/banned from the forum you get notice of it.
Your issue should fix itself over time. More posting, more liking, more reading threads all should go towards it updating. If it’s because your character is Dracthyr then it’s just a matter of time for it to update.
You aren’t personally being targeted. There’s no such thing as a “shadowban”. You are either banned or not.
If you feel it is a bug with the forums, you can file a bug report for it.
Unfortunately if a poorly coded spam filter is set to auto-hide someone’s comments no matter the comment text and not alert them to such, that is a shadow ban, intentional or not.
Real question is how did you see the comment reply that got removed within a minute by the spam filter?
I’m aware, and it’s not viable to expect them to keep going through every single comment.
I feel bad for the CMs. It’s not an attack on them, especially if it’s a coding/machine learning error.
I’m sorry if I’m posting too much about this. It is very annoying to deal with this, and I don’t want to be annoying about it.
