I'll do that as soon as you stop censoring people that disagree with your and PG's agenda.
In the mean time I'll continue to evade browser fingerprinting and post from new IP addresses. You can't keep this place as your personal echo chamber as much as you would like to.
- AnimalMuppet 11y agoSee, the thing is, they don't censor based on "disagreeing with their agenda". They censor based on how you disagree. If you're going to be a jerk, you'll get censored. You won't get censored for not following the party line. Maybe you were crossing more lines than just "the party line" and didn't realize it...
- xbrjvjcjcj 11y agoI have repeatedly found that not to be the case. And of course, I have no way to prove moderator abuse/ overzealousness because of how opaque the moderation is on this site. To some extent you'll just have to trust me, unfortunately.
- dang 11y agoWhy don't you just post links to examples of moderator abuse? If it's so rampant as you say, that shouldn't be hard.
- xbrjvjcjcj 11y agoHow do you propose that I link to deleted posts, muted accounts, and threads that are removed from the main index? Those aren't things that I can just link to evidence of. Perhaps from your end, but not for the rest of us.
- dang 11y agoNothing is deleted from Hacker News unless the author deletes it themselves or asks us to. Everything else can be linked to. Hence my question. If a post is marked [dead], only users with 'showdead' turned on in their profile will see it, but that's trivial to turn on, so anyone who wants to read such comments easily can. And of course users are free to vouch for [dead] comments, which in most cases promotes them back to normal status. Since you've made many accounts on HN, presumably you know all this.
- teawithcarl 11y agoDang, the commenter you are fighting with is right. I had my account hell banned by posting "too many articles about Snowden/NSA". PG even modified the HN code to automatically friction-drag (partially flag) articles of such content. He simply blocked content which didn't agree with his viewpoint. I lost nearly all respect for HN over this. I am a solid citizen here (my comments are solid and regularly upvoted), yet my account is hell-banned primarily for my views. I personally believe this is proof that "peak-HN" and "peak-YC" has already occurred.
- AnimalMuppet 11y agoGiven that I can see your post, I don't think you can be hellbanned (presuming that I understand hellbanning correctly).
- teawithcarl 11y agoMy account has various drag-coefficients on it - which "dang" can see ... all of which hamstring my ability to participate (anywhere near) equally on HN.
- kbenson 11y agoWhat's a drag-coefficient in this context? What, specifically, are you seeing that's somehow preventing you from participating equally?
- kasey_junk 11y agoWhy don't you move to a site that fits your moderation expectations?
