You are always so quick to shut down discussion. You always ring the flame war warning bell, then I watch people of a "certain" political flavor signal and counter signal their righteousness when it comes to climate change or any other settled topic. Maybe you guys should just add a "no unpopular or uncomfortable thoughts" rule instead of pretending you are saving the discussion from certain doom by soft censoring unpopular opinions.
This is just my opinion, as well it is a dead'd thread, so please don't shadow ban me. Again.
- dang 7y agoWe ask people not to do generic ideological discussion because it's boring and not what HN is for. A good example is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19987774 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19987774. We don't need that here—it has all been repeated millions of times, is all predictable, and therefore is all off topic. We do eventually ban users who keep doing that on HN, so please stop. Shadowban means banning someone without telling them. When we banned you before, we told you at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10883352 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10883352 and discussed with you later over email.
