Does the “show dead” setting override the shadow ban so one can view dead comments?

Interesting you can vouch for comments at ~4k karma and I cannot at ~31k.

Yes, showdead showed the comment and I wondered why it was dead because it was not too controversial.

Are you sure you can't vouch? Click on the time at the top of the comment and it should show on the page that loads. Its intentionally "hidden".

I was wrong, it appears I can vouch but as you mentioned you have to dig for the option. Mea culpa.
