> Being down voted on HN is really annoying because it won't let you reply if your down voted. Even to replies to your comment. Thanks for your comments, I'll try and reply tomorrow! This is wildly untrue.

Is it? I've been rate limited. Its taken me 60min of hitting reply to you to get this comment in How come that only happens when I have a down voted comment so I just assumed. Error message: You're posting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks.

  The HN software increases the rate limit threshold for posters that meet certain criteria that are designed to try to catch those not participating in constructive discourse. How effective the filters are, I cannot say, but that's the intention.

    To be honest, it's miles better than reddit so I can't really complain.

  I have the occasional comment that goes negative and it’s never been an issue whatsoever. It’s possible then that HN has some other criteria that are limiting you? Possibly you go negative very often or something. I’ve also not hit a rate limit before either, though I rarely comment super densely.

    Who knows? There is a page someone put together somewhere that I think addresses some of the HN automated rules I think but I can't find it quickly. The point is, being an arsehole is my right and asking about it is a hippa violation and my name is Karen and I want to speak to the manager! /s Edit: thinking about it, I have been quite unpopular recently as I'm not super on board with big tech being evil or monopolies law being the right tool to fix it... Edit2: I think this is the page I mentioned above https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented

  I have a comment from earlier today that is downvoted to -4 and I can reply to it and other comments just fine. This has always been true for me.
