The goal is for the atheists in the religion forum to block every theist so they have their own little private forum. They don't have to read our posts, they don't have to respond to us and they can say whatever they want and it not come back on them by the mods cuz all they have to say is well they can't read anything.
Shadow banning, also called stealth banning, ghost banning or comment ghosting,[1] is the practice of blocking or partially blocking a user or their content from some areas of an online community in such a way that it will not be readily apparent to the user that they have been banned. For instance, shadow banned comments posted to a blog or media website will not be visible to other users accessing the site. Also, reducing the visibility, or impressions within the "main feed"By partly concealing, or making a user's contributions invisible or less prominent to other members of the service, the hope may be that in the absence of reactions to their comments, the problematic or otherwise out-of-favour user will become bored or frustrated and leave the site, and that spammers and trolls will be discouraged to continue their unwanted behavior or create new accounts.[1][2][3]
It sounds utterly dysfunctional.
This is sitcom shit. "Can you please tell your father..." "Tell him your fucking self."
I'm turning Chinese,I think I'm turning Chinese,I really think so.
How so?
It seems to me that it's literally not to all be on the same page. That does not seem conducive to good discussion.
I think I'd prefer strict and principled modding.
What good discussion is there to be had by two or more individuals who do not intend to engage each other?

I don't think I ever said I'd use blocking as much if it disallowed communication entirely to the point we can't read each other's posts.
And you told me I was 100% false, little liar.
I never found the original post but I did find where it was discussed. 3RU7AL suggested it would be easy to do a list of banned members, both me and RM were to definitely be on that list, where we would be basically blocked no one could see our post and that in order for people to see those posts they'd have to opt out. It was also discussed that this list would be secret and that we would just have to figure out that's what was going on. It was basically a list of members disliked or mods hate. As long as the mods are going to allow people to make disgusting comments then I'm going to use the block function especially so I don't get messages from those people. That said those functions only work when you're logged in anyway log out and you can see everything.

There will several other people suggest to be on the list as well wasn't just me and RM.
the mods could make an OPTIONAL moderator-muted-list of users they deemed "inappropriate" so they would be invisible to the public and also invisible to all site members - UNLESS - site members un-checked the OPTIONAL moderator-muted-list
It's okay you want to defend your friend I don't give a shit
the post speaks for itself.
