I'm not familiar with the term.Actually some forums will shadow ban them then watch how they post and permanent ban them after they continue to be problematic.
Anyone aware of what a shadow ban is?

Wow urban dictionary is ruthless...Urban Dictionary: shadowban
Banning a user from a web forum in such a way that the banned user is unaware of the ban. Usually takes the form of showing that user's posts/profile/etc. only to that user; other users never see them. Considered underhanded chicken-**** behavior.www.urbandictionary.com

Yep, here is @10mmLife demonstrating his version…….….I know I went off topic again….may not happen again
Yea I'm not a fan but some places will definitely give you enough rope to hang yourself and I do understand why instead of just banning someone for a few tussles with members.Wow urban dictionary is ruthless...
I hear what you're saying as well. I probably should have followed instructions and offered my opinion, which is to give them the hook.I hear what your saying but this threads point is that an instigator can take a thread off topic quickly in a negative way and the OP ends up with their thread shutdown.
My comments in this post are not intended to argue against anything you said and to only show the intent of the topic in this current thread that discusses dealing with instigators.
I agree.Instigators are never the ones that are properly pulled aside and asked to refrain from further comment.
A few people often respond in a combative style.
Thanks too your post my head hurts and google dictionary is on speed dial? With some post you began too wonder or find out which end of a horse they're on!As I said when I joined this forum, I am here to learn and to share what I know. I have learned much. There are a lot of knowledgeable people here who have well founded opinions on matters of mutual interest. A post can take off in directions unforeseen by the author, and differences of opinions can and will occur. I enjoy seeing other points of view in a bonhomous discussion, but when it turns pugnacious, I will be spending my time elsewhere.
Yeah I had to Google pugnacious also, that's what I get for going to public school....Thanks too your post my head hurts and google dictionary is on speed dial? With some post you began too wonder or find out which end of a horse they're on!
I am now and that's above my pay grade.Actually some forums will shadow ban them then watch how they post and permanent ban them after they continue to be problematic.

Welcome aboard!Hey does anyone remember when BAN was just a deodorant? I love being able to read and post on this site. And when I have had a long tiring day I love going to the jokes page . Never fails to make me smile. Only downside for me is I will never get to meet you guys in person. But this is a site that definitely needs to continue to be taken care of. I have found links to some truly interesting articles and stories I somehow missed while raising my three sons, Thank you to all you guys that make up this site. GOD Bless.
Pugnacious.A really cute doggie. Am I right or am I ???I am now and that's above my pay grade.
