Hi b_b that's good to hear but how can you be so sure? Are you a Hubski admin?

For all of us mere mortals, it'd be more reassuring if there were a way of checking how close to reaching the banning ratio we are. Otherwise there really is no way of knowing if our communications are considered out of order or not.

Hubski is like the physical word. Once you get to know the community and its individual members, you'll know whether they liked/disliked your correspondence simply by the manner in which they respond. Even if it's quite subtle, you can usually make a good guess on how an individual received your post. It's one of the great things about this site.

b_b is more than qualified to respond and everything he wrote is correct. You can learn more here: https://hubski.com/pub?id=151313

If after reading that you have more questions let me know.

Thank you for the link, it was really informative.

I guess what I was hoping for was a more transparent way of knowing how close you are from being banned.

For example, I just had someone curse at me because s/he ran out of arguments in the discussion. I'm sure to be filtered by this person and wonder how many more unreasonable filters will it take until I'm silently silenced.

No such device exists and honestly, you don't have to worry about it. It's not designed to ensure everyone agrees etc. I expect I'm filtered by a number of people. It's a tool to curate your experience here. If this person you communicated with chooses to filter or even mute you, that's fine. That's what those tools are there for. Don't sweat it.

Hope that helps

I can answer some questions authoritatively. thenewgreen, mk, insomniasexx and forwardslash are a bit more up to speed than I am. I can say confidently that anyone who uses the site in the way that it's intended to be used (that is, not trolling or spamming) doesn't have anything to fear vis. banning or censoring.
