Is there some kind of objective criteria for this? I've made a legitimate effort to comment in a variety of threads. I suppose you don't think that is enough.

- dang 9y agoYes, the criterion is the one the site guidelines state: using Hacker News "primarily for political or ideological battle". For more on what that means and why it's worded that way, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16185062 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16185062. In practice there's a huge gap between users who come to HN to gratify intellectual curiosity, who in the course of being interested in a bunch of things occasionally comment on a political topic, versus accounts that only are interested in divisive flammable issues and use HN to prosecute their views on them.
