That’s not one example. That guy has posted tons of awful shit and you not only allow it, but apparently have special cased him. > Would you please stop creating accounts to break HN's rules with? Are you threatening to dox me??? What other accounts? How about you do your job, until then it’s left to the community to clean up your shithole. Case in point: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=Chris2048 https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=Chris2048 This site is full of racists, sexists and YC portfolio shilling. Utter garbage and you’re driving this bus.

Nobody's getting "special cased". We cut lots of people lots of slack for lots of different reasons, and it has nothing to do with secretly agreeing with them. When I tell people we've cut them lots of slack in a comment like the GP, it's a polite way of letting them know that they're close to being banned and an attempt to persuade them into changing their behavior. We prefer persuasion where possible and try to take that approach in most cases. We've cut you a lot of slack as well. You've repeatedly posted abusively using multiple accounts, have flouted every request to stop, and in fact have only turned up the volume on all the things we've asked you not to do. Continuing to do that is going to get you banned regardless of how many awful things you say about moderators, HN, YC, etc. We moderate HN less when people do that, but "less" does not mean zero—that would basically mean carte blanche. Would you please stop this ideological war campaign? Ideological battle is not what HN is for. That is the case independently of which ideology you favor, as anyone who looks even a little objectively at the moderation history here can easily see for themselves.

  Anyone can look to see that you give racists carte blanche. It's crystal clear. What makes you think I'll stop fighting racism on this shithole site??? I, unlike you actually want to clean up this terrible industry, starting here. It's laughable that you dare to give me a little speech from your high horse when you're in the gutter with a bunch of racists. So no, I don't care what you say, you're very clearly the enemy and the YC puppet. Ban my account if you want, I can always make more. If you dox me, we'll see some real fireworks.

If you disagree with anything I posted that strongly feel free to respond. EDIT: How are you raising awareness of anything? Has anyone other than yourself agreed with you that my post is racist; or do you think it's self-evident - so much so it warrants labelling the mod (and presumably anyone else) also racist for not agreeing with you?

  There’s no arguing with racist pieces of shit such as yourself or dang. I’m happy to just raise awareness about what’s going on with HN/YC.

Quick question easylayup, and apologies if I'm telling tales out of school, but have you ever been to a doctor to be checked for a case of Sugbofama? The reason I'm asking is because you seen to fit some of the diagnostic criteria by reading some of these comments Just trying to help you out.

  Have you gone to the doctor to check for COVID? Since you're an anti-masker, I'm sure you'll get it soon enough.
