I am of the opinion that account terminations in general for any service (including free) that provides commercial value to users should be regulated by commerce regulators like FTC. So, my HN account would be exempt but people who hire and self-promote on HN could appeal, but not for any ban, only ones done without cause or where the cause is eithet not a violation of ToS or when it is false and the banned user can prove it. After all, commerce is regulated and allowing users to derive commercial value from a service is providing a commercial sevice. This will allow service providers to define ToS and ban users who are in violation while allowing the public to engage in commerce and be treated fairly. This includes brick and mortar businesses who refuse service, instead of banning service refusal on discrimination of protected categories, require explicit and demonstrable violations of ToS which can be criticized for violation of other laws.
