+Shadow-banning users
+====================
+
+Shadow-banning is a useful tool for moderating malicious or egregiously abusive users.
+A shadow-banned users receives successful responses to their client-server API requests,
+but the events are not propagated into rooms. This can be an effective tool as it
+(hopefully) takes longer for the user to realise they are being moderated before
+pivoting to another account.
+
+Shadow-banning a user should be used as a tool of last resort and may lead to confusing
+or broken behaviour for the client. A shadow-banned user will not receive any
+notification and it is generally more appropriate to ban or kick abusive users.
+A shadow-banned user will be unable to contact anyone on the server.
+
+The API is::
+
+  POST /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>/shadow_ban
+
+To use it, you will need to authenticate by providing an ``access_token`` for a
+server admin: see `README.rst <README.rst>`_.
+
+An empty JSON dict is returned.
+
+**Parameters**
+
+The following parameters should be set in the URL:
+
+- ``user_id`` - The fully qualified MXID: for example, ``@user:server.com``. The user must
+  be local.
