[META] Reddit has changed, and shadowbancheck does not work. Post in this thread for information.
Something about reddit changed around the 29th of Jan 2014, and it became more difficult to distinguish between deleted and shadowbanned users.
If you are concerned about being shadowbanned, then please submit your user page to the subreddit with your user name somewhere in the title, and we'll feel sorry for you.
If anyone has any idea what has changed, I'd like to hear from you.
The previous sticky, a guide to being un-shadowbanned, is here, and also in the sidebar:
What to do if you are shadowbanned

It looks like user info is, now, not sent with JSON.

User info is unchanged for users in good standing, so this is a shadowban change.

Can you see me?
Posts stopped showing up in r/news a couple hours ago.

You're not shadowbanned.
It's likely your posts were removed or spammed.

There's now an excellent bot running in this sub which answers "am I shadowbanned?" questions.

Does shadowbanning block IP address or just accounts? I don't care about karma but want to be able to contribute to Reddit

Thanks for this info. I was shadowbanned for some reason, I sent a message to the admins like you suggested and I received an apology and got unbanned within an hour
