Hey - we got a complaint about your account being single-purpose because it posts overwhelmingly about you-know-who. Single-purpose accounts aren't allowed here, and neither are accounts using HN primarily for ideological battle. I took a look and I can see why someone thought that, because almost everything this account has been posting seems obviously related to this one thing. That's a problem. Also, it's really not an interesting topic, which is what HN is supposed to be for. However, I'm not going to ban you right now because of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37233533 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37233533 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37233035 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37233035. Saved by Postgres! Please lay off the Musk from now on, though. It's tedious and we want HN to be the opposite of tedious.

  Bro did you just threaten to ban me because… I happen to comment on articles I have a saved search for? I just had to comment my dismay and where you posted you locked up the comments. So instead I’m being dismayed over here. What kind of a weird rule is that. “Single purpose accounts”. Oh I’m not allowed to search and pick to comment on the articles I care about. I need to have more varied interests like the top news about someone writing a Nintendo 64 emulator in LEGOs or something.

    The thread was locked because it (rightly) got flagkilled by users. I've unkilled it now, and moved your comment to where I assume you intended to post it. > Bro did you just threaten to ban me because… I happen to comment on articles I have a saved search for? No, I said we would ban you if you don't stop posting exclusively (or nearly exclusively) flamewar stuff about Elon Musk. That's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. No more of this, please. (Also, we don't care about your choice of $celebrity - it would be the same if you were posting this way about anyone else.) Edit: even when you haven't been posting about that central figure, you've still been posting flamewar comments, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37157666 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37157666. If you want to keep posting to HN, all of this needs to stop. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules from now on.

      So I need to be kind to Tailwind's dysfunctions. Well ban me, I guess.
