- Jtsummers 3y agobafe, I vouched for your comment. You may want to reach out to the mods (hn@ycombinator.com) because your account appears to have been shadowbanned. You only have 4 comments and all were dead (not marked as [flagged] which is typically there with user flags). You may have triggered one of the system's rules which sometimes catch up new users (for instance, creating an account through some VPNs, reportedly).
- dang 3y agoNot banned - but yes, subject to extra restrictions because it's a new account. I've marked the account legit now so this won't happen again. Thanks for watching out for a fellow user!
- bafe 3y agoThank you all! I'm a very new user, and perhaps not as good as a writer as most of you, but I am definitely a legit poster, not a spammer
