@frik – many of your comments (including this one) are dead. Can't tell from your comment history why.

  Thanks for letting me know! It's hard to reply, I can only post 2-3 comments per day, as I always get this site error message: "You're posting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks." Apparently I rubbed the owner/maintainer the wrong way by asking about checking the site server logs to investigate an apparent voting ring thing going on - that was about two years ago. Then he apparently "rate-limited" my account, meaning I can only post two or three comments per day, the votings doesn't count and the comments are fall instantly to the bottom, and the karma stagnates. Some weeks ago, he shadow banned my account. There is little difference between an "rate-limited" account and an "shadow banned" account. Would be nice to bury the hatchet

    > There is little difference between an "rate-limited" account and an "shadow banned" account. I don't think this is true. I get the "You're posting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks." if I post too many times in quick succession. If you are rate-limited the posts that you can post will show up as normal. However if you are shadow-banned your posts show up immediately as dead and people can't see them unless they have show-dead enabled. Even to be able to reply to you I have to first click on your post and then click 'vouch'. I guess if you kept approaching the site admin that's why you were shadow-banned, I don't see any point in approaching them unless something terrible is going on, there are too many accounts here and it's not a commercial venture. I don't know what you did but your comment history seems okay but all your comments are showing up dead unless someone clicks 'vouch'. Perhaps if you promised to leave the admins alone? I mean you have more karma than me! Good luck.

      It's unfortunately true. I know what you mean, but this same warning message shows up in both occasions. With "rate-limited" account it shows up after two posts and then one cannot post for about 6 hours. The message doesn't make sense, it's there like the shadow ban to annoy one and get you to move away from the site eventually. I promise I won't interact again with the admin.

    That is a shockingly bad-faith description. You're banned because you serially abused Hacker News for years, and we gave you a great many warnings before we did that.

      As always you distract from the discussion. What I wrote is 100% true. Rate-limiting is a shady thing here on HackerNews. I am now documenting a last time what moderation tactics are going on here... With rate-limiting it means your account gets so much worse: * lowered the comment start-ranked to below normal * news & comment votes are not counted at all, but only showed to oneself (fake increase) * rate-limited writing comments and submit news (only 2 comment or 1 news submission per 6 hours) It is very shady that this isn't documented or allowed to discuss at all. It seems to be an between state, only slightly worse is the also shady "shadow ban", which features exactly the same symptoms but also hides the comment for public users - users can opt-in to see "dead" comments (via the user settings). You/your employee rate-limited my account, and a few weeks ago your employee shadow banned my account for a slightly not adhering to the guideline comment. If stepping 3 times slightly beside the guidelines (that are a moving target, an interpreted subjectively) is "serially for years" something is wrong on the other side, I am sure. I have a good history of comments, the guy who rate-limited my account showed my account the middle finger. And there is no way to get a normal account status again. What a pitty that Paul PG Graham left, and it turned so much worse since then. I am done with writing comments here, I am sure there are other better websites around, I am leaving the sinking ship.
