That does not answer the question, thank you for your efforts.

Not sure if you read the provided link, but it tells you exactly why a comment will be removed and having an account suspended. Having an account for 15 years makes no difference.


Shadow Banning is the removal of a post from others, but you can still see it. That is not the case here, when a post is removed, you will no longer see it either.
