Generally I disagree with the idea of shadowbanning. Specifically twitters implementation of it.
However, It is a possible solution to the troll uploaders that seem to be increasing lately. The idea works like this:
1. Bot or troll group create account
2. Troll user uploads false content (IE: "Go here to read this series" for all the images in the chapter)
3. Real users wanting to read content report the upload to Mangadex.
4. Mangadex moderators shadowban content from uploader
5. To the troll uploader it looks as if they can continue on as planned but the content is never seen by mangadex users.
6. Every 30 days (more or less depending on mangadex's judgement) the false chapters are removed (to save on storage) and the troll uploader account is permabanned.
7. Repeat steps 1-6.
I believe this should ONLY be applied to chapter uploads and no other content, existing or planned, to prevent the system from being abused. It should also REQUIRE a human to verify that the content is false or trolling to prevent malicious users from getting other users or groups they disagree with (for whatever reason) shadowbanned.
Would this work and is it something the mangadex team is currently capable of implementing? (Not questioning anyones ability, I just don't know if it's technically possible the way I described it or how difficult it would be if it is possible)
