Ask PG: Do comments from new users get auto-killed too easily?
Some comments that definitely aren't spam earn the status of 'dead.' For example:
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1567347
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1566744
Those posts seem to have two things in common:
* they are both from new users with low karma
* they both contain links.
Is there an auto spam-killing function on a rampage? :-)
- jacquesm 16y agoIt looks like both those are users that got killed, their comments after that point may be 100% on-topic and legit but if they don't do something to ask for re-instatement of their accounts anything they do will be automatically killed as well.
