- dang 6y agoCould you please stop creating accounts for every few comments you post? We ban accounts that do that. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. You needn't use your real name, of course, but for HN to be a community, users need some identity for other users to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix&page=0&query=community%20identity%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...
- wolco5 6y agoI've created 4 accounts over four years. wolco - which had 5000 karma over three years wolco2 - which had 500 karma over three months wolco3 - negative - one day wolco5 - active The first one got hacked. The second one I created a super difficult password and couldn't remember when I cleared my stored passwords. The third I started off poorly by replying to a Trump thread and wanted to start fresh. I'm not a spammer creating accounts for some purpose other than losing accounts and I would love to get back my wolco account if possible.
- dang 6y agoOk, I've clearly misclassified you—sorry! There are a lot of accounts doing less defensible things and it's not always easy (well, basically impossible) to tell who's up to what. I'd be happy to help you get the wolco account back, but can you email hn@ycombinator.com? The process for account recovery is best not performed in public.
