Shadowbanning. Either outright ban someone and let the community know why, or don't. That's it! Transparency and honesty are the way to go. Arguably this is more of a moderator/admin morality issue than anything else, but still.

Any ban should be transparent to the users.

Vulcan was a victim of the Snoo Shadowbans, apparently due to usage of VPN services.

Unfortunately shadowbanning is a very useful feature against spambots, so it will probably be implemented in the fediverse as well.

Yeah, unfortunately the good outweighs the bad in regards to this I think.

This I disagree, I believe it's useful to let trolls and spam bots talking to themselves, alerting of a ban will only make them to take measures to circumvent the block. The problem would be mod abuse, not the tool.
