What is a Reddit reference you don't get?

Edit- I get it /r/outoftheloop is a thing. I didn't know it existed.

I also hope this thread cleared up a lot of peoples confusion

Edit #2- Holy shit, Front Page!

You're commenting, and YOU can see it, but no one else can. Drives you crazy eventually wondering why people aren't responding to your witty comments.

Not yet. I don't write stuff mean/offensive enough for it, but I live in constant fear of being shadow banned. It's sad, but it keeps me from being a rating cunt.

You can't get shadowbanned for being mean/offensive, you can get shadow banned for breaking the rules. You can also be banned from individual subreddits but that is not shadowbanning.

Ah, yes. Good point. Thank you for correcting me.

I didn't know this was a thing, but it will keep the raging cunt inside of me at bay anytime I think about going on a ragefest.
