Why is the comment from godsplan1 downvoted to death?

  Their account was banned. dang explains why they were banned in a reply to a previous comment.

    I had to figure out what previous comment you mean; for anyone similarly lost, see the account's previous comments, there is only one other. Interesting, I would have expected to show the commenter an [you are banned] error or similar instead of just not showing the comment to others. Edit: Thanks for explaining!

        It is not dead any more, see comment by godsplan1, currently at the bottom.

        Dead comments can be resurrected by people vouching for them. If you think a comment from a banned account is something that should be shown, click on its timestamp and then click "vouch". I usually look at the user's other comments first, to see who I'm vouching for.

        Do you have showdead set to "on" in your profile?
