   You know about “shadowbanning”, where some online forums isolate a   
   disruptive user by leaving their postings up but only visible to   
   themselves, not to anyone else, so they don’t realize they’ve been   
   banned?   
      
   The next step beyond that would be “heavenbanning”, where the isolated   
   user only gets automated responses from AI bots who agree with and   
   praise everything that they say ... while these responses, like the   
   user’s posts, remain completely invisible to everyone else.
