Yeah, what's going on with this? If I did something wrong then just warn me first, because it comes out of nowhere and I have no idea what the hell is going on. How does it even work? Is it triggered automatically or what?

Hey dang, you mind explaining this?

It's not totally clear about how this works. It looks like I've been shadowbanned from making new posts at least temporarily, since when I tried to make a new post yesterday I was met with this error despite making no posts yesterday.

I am not sure what the goal is. I already hit 500 so I've got the downvote, but maybe there's more rights and privileges that they want to keep me from obtaining with a higher upvote count?
