I don't think the lack-of-telling-people-to-not-bother-posting is about spam, it's about ordinary internet rats who would just reregister and continue making terrible posts.
It also makes me wonder who the mysterious 'you've been banned' emailer is.
What? I've never heard about this. (Edit: Oh, I glossed over half the threadstarter's text.)

That's very well possible. (edit: I doubt someone would go out of their way to alert a troll to being banned though) > What? I've never heard about this. You would have if you read the posting at the top of the page ;)
- Freebytes 17y agoIt is possible for someone to make poor posts in the beginning and improve their post content when they realize their role within the community. Many new visitors to HN are likely to encounter this by simply making a one-line 'witty' comment that people dislike. When that gets downvoted, they may tend to lean towards more informative and relevant posts after learning their lesson.
