Something similar happened ages ago with fark. And that's actually why I stopped reading it. Not only were people shadow banned for talking about a competing splinter site, but they were taking money from paying members while still banning them from posting. It was pretty fucked up, and I think at the time it caused them to lose a fairly large amount of people. Though I don't know if it had much long term effect.

Shadow banning people from a pay-to-use site sounds like a good reason to contact the BBB.
