xdissent: you appear to be still banned (at least, 4 hours after my post, you still were). Since you now have a positive karma, could you answer this post as a test?
- tripzilch 15y agoI don't seem to see his posts unless I enable "showdead". I didn't even know karma worked this way on HN. Quite ridiculous, IMHO, to completely hide someone if their karma runs too low. Especially if it can happen by unfortunate accident and ends up hiding a positive contributor completely from view--basically means the system is broken.
- pygy_ 15y agoThe dead-ban system makes the life of the moderators much easier by starving trolls who would otherwise create a new account as soon as they got banned. At HN's scale, it is necessary. This case is unfortunate, though, but I guess that's why the showdead option exists. I don't know if a negative karma turns on an irreversible ban flag, or if going back to positive will alleviate the ban. If not, I'll write a mail to pg.
