Did I shadow-ban myself?

[droopyauthor]

Hello,

I wanted to ask if I just shadow-banned myself.

As there's no exclusive Volumes' Names feature here, I wanted to add a chapter for each volume mentioning what the said volume will include in points. I added three such chapters back to back. As its just a summary, kinda, the total number of words isn't much, either.
Can this successive uploading of chapters, with low word count, lead to shadow ban?

I am asking this because my novel was in Rising Daily when I saw it last time... 14, I think. But now its completely gone. I understand that there's a chance the novel is not trending right now, but I'd rather confirm the doubt.

Note: I have also posted the same on Alverost's profile. As I don't know his online schedule, I am also posting it here. In case its a case of shadow-ban, can someone recommend me the necessary steps to undo it, or who should I contact for the same?

I think I heard somewhere that scribblehub has like an anti-spam thingy that'll block your story from going on recently updated if chapters are posted within a few hours of each other. Idk if it affects trending or anything though

But is it like permament?

Only Tony knows how trending works. If I had to guess I would say it's a anti-spam, just don't post more than once per day and you should be fine.

I don't think that's a real thing. I tend to post 5x chapters back to back within minutes of each other for the same story and still see my stories show up on all the relevant lists. My account is fairly new too, so even that combination doesn't seem to be much of a problem.

Not likely, most probably other novels and some unfortunate timing that pushed your novel out of the ranking. Worst come to worst just ask tony for help.

Well, I can see your post, so I think not.

Ah, yes... Spending hours upon hours writing, then within mere minutes your novel is already in the next page.

Update: I refreshed it just now and the Stats have changed. No idea what's happening. If a moderator ever see this post, then I would request to let authors know exactly what can lead to shadow ban so that we can avoid those particular things and take unnecessary stress. If you have already explained it somewhere, then please guide me to the said post/link. Thank you.

The 'Rising Daily' is updated everyday so it would change depending on when you checked. The server starts the day different from you so I'm not sure if it was because of that or not.
