If you would like to tell your story there let me know, I can manually approve your posts from the spam filter even if you are shadowbanned.
I would be interested in what type of behavior may have lead to your shadowban. Very rarely do the reddit admins employ the ip ban as you have experienced.
Not very surprising if you had the same activity on r/bitcoin that you have on v/bitcoin. When you put so many links to a website (banksworstfear.com in this case) it looks like you're a spammer. I'm not saying you are but you can't do that in a subreddit (except if you create your own) and that's a good thing IMO. Otherwise there would be spam all over the place, drowning any potentially good content.
I think art of the problem though is the magnitude of reddit. There are so many people and accounts on there that it's difficult to regulate everything properly. If a spammer were to come here, they would have very little luck since not many users are here, they would stick out like a sore thumb. I understand what you mean though. Reddit's admins are also pretty shitty though.
The beginning of the end of Reddit, unless people just kinda start abandoning the site like MySpace. Once Reddit starts doing stuff behind the backs of its users (stuff that Redditors will obviously disapprove of) and people start to mistrust Reddit, they'll move on to something else, because, well, they can afford to. For example, kind of like what is happening to Comcast right now. But that will be far off in the future.

Why did they implement the shadowbanning for this?

Reddit has become "The Man" and soon it will be time to stick it to them.
