> im tired of this fn "posting too fast" -- it stiffles intereaction My guess is that people are downvoting you (maybe because of profanity? not sure) which results in a shadowban/ratelimit of your account. Your comment shows up as gray to me, which I think means it's been downvoted or flagged.

Also, generally, if you're having issues with HN, whether other members or the site itself, email the mods: hn@ycombinator.com They can fix things, or explain rationales. They've been overwhelmingly gracious, clear, and when necessary, firm in my own discussions. (Most of my communications are brief items readily fixed or not. Occasionally a longer bit, and even those at least generate a response.)

It's unclear what the restrictions are (as dang himself has told me) and you don't get the warning until _after_ you try to post once you've past the limit. But yes I do agree with you that dang is kind of unusually responsive when you question him on his decisions. That, however, doesn't mean you'll find his reasoning all that compelling. Regardless, he runs the forum so he gets to censor it as he wishes.
