I just started the hellbanning article, and found it tough to find reliable sources. I will look more a little later today -- meantime, if anyone else can find reliable sources, that would be great. I checked Google News archives, Google Books and Google Scholar, but found nothing much. Thanks Sue Gardner (talk ) 20:15, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

That's because this isn't UrbanDictionary.com... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.167.90.59 (talk) 06:09, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

I tend to agree with the Unsigned IP that this isn't article worthy, but I've corrected the information on Stack Overflow; there's no such option on the site and I'm a mod on the network; there is no such tool and no evidence of such a ban ever occurring. The blog post referenced was a theoretical exercise. --Sirtaptap (talk) 17:13, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting that info on Stack Overflow! Although, question: how is this not article-worthy? Sure seems like it to me. Internet culture is a very article-worthy subject, and I imagine stealth-banning could easily prove controversial, as I doubt it hasn't already in other spheres of discussion.

Proper Noun?

In the last paragraph, in reference to Craigslist, the word ghosting is capitalised; is it a proper noun? Otherwise, it should be lowercase.

Confusing Sentence

In the last paragraph, it says, "Reportedly, an ad is placed, confirmation is sent that it has been posted." I would fix this myself, but I'm unsure what it's saying: "if an ad is placed, confirmation is sent that it has been posted"? Or is it saying something else?

Twitter

We should start gathering peer reviewed, and publicly reported evidence of shadow banning on twitter. Sadly, I can only find a very limited number of sources right now. Endercase (talk) 17:35, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

The reliability of Breitbart and Infowars was called into question. I call for discussion. See Alfredo Beltrán Leyva for more. Endercase (talk) 22:08, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
