The article is on a suspect domain:
https://https.www.google.com.tedunangst.com/flak/post/griping-about-go
Is there any legit reason to have https.www.google.com in there?
- rbrtl 8y agoMy AV blocked the website for Phishing. Guessing it's got a bad reputation, or as you say, it's just "suspect".
- draw_down 8y agoI think that’s what we call “a joke”.
- comex 8y agoFYI, you appear to have been shadowbanned for a while.
- mlvljr 8y agoMust be one of those trolls
- eadmund 8y agoLooking at his history, it looks like it happened ca. November 2017: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=draw_down&next=15676609 https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=draw_down&next=15676... Looking back for a few pages before that, I don't see any moderators warning him. He does seem to post an awful lot of single-sentence replies, so maybe it was automated? I have my own concerns about the lack of transparency around moderation & banning.
- nicoburns 8y agoHow come we can see his posts if he's been shadow banned?
- comex 8y agoFor the comment in this thread, I used the "vouch" link to reinstate it (requires a certain amount of karma AFAIK), so it's no longer "dead", i.e. hidden. But most of the rest of their comments in the last two weeks are still dead. Anyone can opt in to seeing such posts by turning on "showdead" in their profile options.
- draw_down 8y agoYes, I know but not much I can do about it, thanks
- comex 8y agoAFAIK you're supposed to email hn@ycombinator.com to negotiate about getting unbanned, unless you've done that already. (Out of curiosity, do you know because someone else told you, or because you were formally notified?)
