> You're not banned because of your "viewpoints" but because you've created dozens of accounts to break HN's rules with. I only have to create new accounts because I get unjustifiably banned. Or, if you consider simply telling the truth to be grounds for banning someone, I consider my point that HN is not actually a good place to discuss things made. > something this community would strongly disapprove of if people knew about it That's an interesting idea. Have you asked users what they think of shadowbanning people? How many comments just in this thread are hidden? How many of those hidden comments actually contain anything objectionable? Have you asked users what they think about hiding comments that don't contain anything objectionable? Shouldn't we make sure users approve of it? That was a good enough standard to apply to my conduct -- shouldn't it be good enough to apply to yours, and HN's in general? > Btw, goatse ascii art is not a "viewpoint". Not sure what this is supposed to mean. Have you been punishing me for what somebody else has been doing?
