I could count on my hands the number of times it got used. I'd search the mod logs to be sure but they're gone now

Re: the old pppp had the ability to bump a thread without posting in it
SomethingAwful used to have "shadow bans", where a user would be banned, but they wouldn't be notified about it, and they could still post, but nobody else would ever see them.
Once they figured this out, they realized that they could bump old threads, even if nobody sees their posts. So they started bumping years old threads in huge numbers.
SomethingAwful immediately got rid of shadow bans soon after :twi:

You call it a "shadow ban"; I call it "ghost posting"

I've been a mod in this place since ... I think 2013 or 14? And I never noticed this either. I'm a smart.

I remember it being used once in 2017, likely only once in PPPP before that, and possibly once way the hell back in LYAT. I wasn't intending to be cute with my wording back when I wrote that post, but even if I had I'd still be right.

The old PPPP had the ability to post as fast as you could mash submit using the quick reply.
