What the hell is hellbanning?

some sites have the ability to block Trolls in a way so that they don't realize they're being blocked. THEY can see their own posts, they just don't realize that the rest of the community can not. It works well because they end up thinking that everyone is just ignoring them, so they get bored and eventually move on.

They'd realize it on this site really fast. As soon as they stopped getting Likes and responses they'd know something was wrong.
My friend is positively vicious about how he handles abusers of Internet on his own web site. He tells you before you even talk on it that if you do it the administrator will contact your IP carrier. I've never heard anyone else be that upset about it, so distressed that he makes it a legal consequence AND tells you about it before you've ever done a thing, which I have a minor problem with but what the hell.
They went on and on and on about invading people's privacy when Edward Snowden released all that information, then when someone with lots of money and isn't associated with the government tracks you online they don't even care at all. Or so it seems.
