I've been posting here for 8 years, and have never noticed moderation until one of the moderators points it out like the top of this thread. Further, I have been posting on /. and other forums since the 90's and have never been banned. If you are on your 51st account here, perhaps the problem is you and not with the people running the show.

Your flex is quite strange on a "hackers" forum. I guess you are very good at following the rules and very bad at questioning them or pushing against them. Good for you I guess.

  Or perhaps I am a mature adult who knows how to engage in discourse without the melodramatic angst of a child.

The reason I’m on my zillionth account isn’t because of comments of mine, but because somehow my ex-wife’s IP is radioactive and if I happen to load HN on my mobile while on her wifi and waiting for my kids the account I’m logged into gets silently hell-banned. Dang has promised it won’t happen again. My first HN account name was my full real name. I have a three-digit slashdot user number and that account also uses my real full name. I believe in communities online.

  That's not quite consistent with my understanding of the situation. But yes, if you follow the site guidelines and stick to a consistent account, we won't ban you. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22176413 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22176413
