Stealth banning (also called Shadow banning and Hell banning) is a practice used by some online community managers to block content added by spammers and Internet trolls, as well as other individuals whose interests do not coincide with the managers'. The practice involves making a user's contributions invisible to all other users, but visible to themselves, making them less likely to create new accounts to add the same material. Often this blocks the problem user's contributions while making it look like they were "lost" due to a website error, thereby enforcing the community best practice of "not feeding trolls." It is used to lower the likelihood of trolls or malicious users from registering new accounts to continue trolling. Comment ghosting (or Selective invisibility) is where an individual comment is rendered invisible to everyone except the poster in order to eliminate disruption they might otherwise cause. Stealth banning is sometimes also called "Coventry" or "ghost-posting". Michael Pryor of Fog Creek Software described shadow banning for online forums in 2006. Software developer and Stack Overflow co-founder Jeff Atwood describes a theoretical use of stealth banning for Stack Overflow on his programming blog Coding Horror, explaining that when none of the banned user's posts receives a response, he or she will be likely to become bored or frustrated and leave the site. Stealth banning is used, for example, on Hacker News,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pando: Can the democratic power of a platform like Hacker News be applied to products? )〕 Reddit and Craigslist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://3taps.com/the-craigslist-lawsuit.php ) Quoting: 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=How to Prevent Ghost Posting on Craigslist )〕 Stealth banning can be detected by using an anonymous proxy service to see if a post is visible to a separate user; if not, stealth banning may have occurred. Craigslist has also been known to "Ghost" a user's individual ads, and reportedly their entire account. Although Craigslist is notoriously tight-lipped about their methods of troll and spam prevention, there are a multitude of individual posts from users around the world that have reported and described this phenomenon in great detail. Reportedly, an ad is placed, confirmation is sent that it has been posted. The ad may be viewed in the user's account, but, if ghosted, will fail to show up in the live listings. == See also == * Block (Internet) * Kill file * Plonk (Usenet) * Stealth shunning * Usenet Death Penalty 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stealth banning」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
