Ignored, shadow banned, or a dead community?

Hello!
I'm new here and registered last week. I thought I could report a problem with one of Mozilla's products here. However, almost no one is interested in this. So I created a post in the ideas thread about implementing a bug report form in Mozilla products. The community manager responded to this post, but I couldn't reply to him because my message was pending moderation for days! I also started receiving insults in private messages from unknown users.

So I want to ask, is this normal for this platform, or is it a kind of shadow ban, or is the community here just dead?

I think your experience is understandable, especially as a new member. Posts being held for moderation can sometimes happen because of community rules or spam filters, so it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve been shadow-banned. However, receiving insulting private messages from unknown users is definitely not something you should have to deal with, and it may be worth reporting those accounts to the moderators.

I’d give the community a little more time and see whether your posts and replies start appearing normally. On a different note, if you’re interested in GTA-related content, GTA San Andreas is also a useful place to explore GTA games, guides, and related resources: https://gtasanhub.app/
