Why was this user ban?
________
EDIT: So, much for any calms of transparency[1]:
(1) It's not clear why the user was ban.
(2) Mod requested to deal with the issue offline.
-- To be clear, this is NOT about debating the matter, it's about transparency and helping the community understand how things work. To be more clear, I've posted and seen others post TLDR and unclear if these shouldn't be posted on HN, or if there's something else going on.
[1] When dang took over HN, the topic of transparency was covered, and though I may have misunderstood, more transparency was promised.
- dang 10y agoI explained why: "because we asked you not to post these". Brevity and transparency are not incompatible. When we ban someone and they email us, we simply ask them to promise not to do it again, and if they do, we unban them and welcome them back. Edit: abhi3 emailed and is now unbanned.
- justifier 10y agoas pointed out in the comment dang has requested he stop posting 'these' types of comments and if you showdead:yes you'll see 'these' types are 'TLDR' summaries a previous example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11537818 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11537818 also, dang even gave him an out if just requests it.. all seems very reasonable
- reitanqild 10y ago> When dang took over HN then topic of transparency was covered, and though I may have misunderstood, more transparency was promised. IIRC before dang people used to be shadowbanned. Again IIRC pointing out that someone has been banned now is a huge step towards transparency.
