Hey Dang, about 2 weeks ago I mailed hn@ycombinator.com and requested a removal of 2 comments I made years ago. The same day, someone replied, removed the username from the comments and asked me if I'm ok with that. I made the argument that the comments uniquely identify me and I would feel better if at least one of them was removed. The comments did not get any meaningful replies, no thread developed, there is nothing interesting to the community about them.
After my reply, I stopped getting any response from HN. I wrote 2 more mails, but to no avail. This was about 2 weeks ago.
How to proceed?
- dang 4y agoI'm sorry but it sometimes takes me longer than that to reply to these things. I'm not happy about it, but the HN inbox is subject to periodic avalanches. That's about all I can tell you without more information, since I don't remember the thread you're referring to.
- throwawaynov22 4y agoAlright - thanks for the update.
