Shadowban detection failed for user replies

Replies from this user do not appear under the post:

External checker correctly reports the user as shadowbanned:
https://shadowban.yuzurisa.com/ietake20050204

However, shadowban-scanner fails to detect that:

• the user is shadowbanned
• their replies are hidden
• their posts should be flagged

Expected: scanner should identify the user/replies as shadowbanned.

Thank you for the detailed report. It is currently difficult for Shadowban Scanner to detect this type of shadowban with the flags we are monitoring.

I have found a potential flag that could be used to detect cases like this, but I am not entirely certain about it yet. Do you happen to know of any other similar cases?

FYI: External tools that are able to detect this are likely making unauthorized requests to the X API server. Shadowban Scanner has a strict policy against such practices.

Thanks for the follow-up. I found two more cases showing the same behavior:

I hope this helps with confirming the new flag.
