  Sorry for the offtopicness but we don't have your email. I just saw https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26721647 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26721647. Since your comments have mostly been fine since we banned you (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26649016 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26649016), I'd be happy to reinstate your account. However, I think the username is a bit too trollish. It's not extreme of course, but the audience here is large enough that even minor trollishness can cause major weirdness. If you want to pick a different username, we can change it for you and unban the account. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix=true&page=0&query=by:dang%20trollish%20username https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme... https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=troll%20effects%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

    Thank you. How do I pick a different username?

      It's best to email hn@ycombinator.com but if you really don't want to do that you can just reply here.

        Ok dang, please reinstate me. :) And thanks for going above and beyond.

          Happy to reinstate you but we need you to pick a different username first! I've restored your recent comments which are fine for HN but I don't want to unban you without renaming the account because then I'll forget that we still need to do that.
