Cool, thanks for clarifying.

I (now) know that Red Dead was banned in the UAE, and pictures of the US military dead are banned by the Pentagon, but what is 'deadbanned' in this context?

If you're banned here, you aren't locked out of the site or prevented from posting. Your posts are just marked so that only you (and other users who have chosen "show dead comments" in their preferences) can see them, and there's no indication that you've been blacklisted. It's terrible.
