  1. To post to /r/ShadowBan - 7-22-2014:
  2.  
  3. Title:
  4.  
  5. 1. There is a "super-shadowban"
  6. 2. I learned my lesson: Clear ALL cookies after you change your IP!

  10. Hi, my 23 (XXIII) and 24 (XXIV) just got super-shadowb&.
  11.  
  12. **A "super-shadowban" is a ban that doesn't even allow you to log-in! I tried resetting my password. I was emailed my password link, and reset it; that didn't work either.**
  13.  
  14. Why don't they just leave an admin message saying why we're super-shadowb& when we are?
  15.  
  16. I changed my IP and used [EgaoNoGenki-XXIV](https://pay.reddit.com/r/ShadowBan/search?q=%22egaonogenki-xxiv%22) on Google Chrome's Incognito mode for awhile. That worked wonderfully.
  17.  
  18. I had used [EgaoNoGenki-XXIII](https://pay.reddit.com/r/ShadowBan/search?q=%22egaonogenki-xxiii%22&sort=relevance&t=all) on TOR for awhile and decided to log 23 back in on Chrome's "normal" mode after clearing all cookies that showed up under the search string, "Reddit." I thought that'd keep me safe from getting flagged.
  19.  
  20. It didn't. I had an okay time with being logged in there until I fell asleep. When I decided to go back to the overview this afternoon, I was also logged off and got the "Page Not Found" page. It appeared they didn't merely shadowban me anymore; they had "super-shadowb&" me now.
  21.  
  22. I experimented with creating new names on the normal browser. I couldn't even log into them either! Before, my new usernames were auto-shadowb&, and now they're auto-super-shadowb&. I'm back on TOR full-time now that my new usual IP has also been contaminated.
  23.  
  24. I guess Reddit also put cookies in the browser that did NOT have the searchable occurrence of "reddit" on it. That's why next time I get a fresh IP, I will clear ALL cookies so I can finally put my past behind me once and for all.

  28. **Update 1:** By the way, I tried /u/EgaoNoGenki-XXV (25), but my password stopped being valid for some reason, even though it doesn't show having been shadowb&. To play it safe, I made a longer password for this one (26.)
  29.  
  30. ---
  31.  
  32. **Update 2:** I experimented with changing the password for this (26) account. *I saw something different!*
  33.  
  34. After resetting the password on this account, a message told me,
  35.  
  36. > password updated
  37.  
  38. But when I tried resetting for XXV (25), XXIV (24) and XXIII (23), I didn't see that message!
  39.  
  40. Moreover, I got an email notification that my password has been changed for XXVI (26), but that's the first time I've ever seen said notification! When you do NOT get an updated password notification by email (or a "password updated" message on the password resetting page), that is a sure bad sign that it was an administrative action. You were either super-shadowb&, or they decided to throw some kind of trick on you where you're not shadowb& but they disable your password!
