- dang 4y agoPersonal attacks will get you banned here. Please don't post like this again. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Edit: you've been breaking the HN guidelines a ton lately. If you keep that up, we're going to have to ban you. Please review the rules and stick to them so we don't have to do that.
- roflyear 4y agoI feel I only respond to people like that who first respond that way to me. Oh well, I will stop doing that. Thanks!
- dang 4y agoI know the feeling, believe me, but from a mod perspective I can tell you that everyone always feels that way (myself included). It seems to be a hard-wired bias we all have. Therefore, everyone needs to make a conscious effort to follow the site guidelines despite that feeling (myself included). I appreciate your response!

- roflyear 4y agoAgreed. Anyway - looks like I am limited so likely not to participate in discussion on HN anymore anyway.
- dang 4y agoWe rate limit accounts when they post too many low-quality comments too quickly and/or get involved in flamewars. Your account is rate limited because it has done a ton of that. All is not lost; if you use the site as intended for a while, i.e. posting substantive, thoughtful comments that follow the guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), you'd be welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and we can take a look and hopefully drop the rate limit.
