Imagine a person, constantly spamming, writing out rude and offensive things to others and stuff. What you would do? Give a warning. Then, you would ban them. And then they'll come back with a different ip-address and it starts all over again.

Now, as for what shadow ban does – if I, for example, was shadow-banned and would post something over here, on this forum, – then other users would not see my post, ultimately making it seem like I'm being ignored. And, as I've said above, it is the best way to deal with trolls/aggressive peps. They would not come back with a different ip; they would just lose interest, cool off and stop their doings altogether.

I didn't really thought about the case of editing wiki pages... but if I would to implement this kind of ban, I'll make it so edits would not appear globally, but only for the banned person, so, just like with forum posts, it wouldn't be so apparent that the person is somehow has been cut in rights (i.e banned). Oh man, I'm so bad at explaining things, all the more so in my non-native language.

As for the "disabling editing for anonymous users" – I've found it, thank you very much.
