What kind of fucked-up forum community accepts that accounts will routinely be trashed without explanation? Frankly, I find such behavior extremely insulting.

  With all due respect sir, try to keep it civil no need to call the community "fucked-up" there are some very intelligent people around. Also the hell banning comes as a trade off. You want a great community with people talking about cool things then you will have to cope up with this. I have stated my protests earlier to this "our way,or the high way" attitude but there are somethings you just can't fight which includes what a community, of which you want to be a part of, has jointly selected. And now I am really interested to know what was your account name before you got banned

    pw0ncakes. Hell-banning spammers or trolls makes sense. Banning people with 200+ karma without explanation, without warning, when they are not making personal attacks or spamming is inexcusable. I was once banned (over a year ago) for saying I liked Clojure better than Arc. Generally, I think the HN community is great, and I bet 90% of the posters here don't know about the forum's management problems, because of the way they're swept under the rug.

      You didn't get banned about Clojure vs. ARc. You got banned because when you started talking about "casual sex" the editors knew you were the same guy who got his last four accounts banned for talking about the same thing (and harassing other users about it).
