- kodah 6y agoThey just posted a new comment that isn't dead. I really doubt HN does that kind of stuff.
- dang 6y agoComments by banned accounts are killed by software, but other users can vouch for them to unkill them (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html). That's what happened in both of those cases.
