- brucethemoose2 3y agoThe comment is marked as [dead]. This is how HN moderates comments, members can see the "deleted" comments but they are locked and greyed out. I am no mod, but I'd guess it was banned for self promotion rules or as part of spam detection.
- hunkins 3y agoInteresting. This was my first post in a while, so spam doesn't make sense to me. I'll re-read the rules on promotion, this was a feature I built from the ground up, so I would imagine sharing it in a community of builders and creators would be fine. Appreciate the insight!
- DamonHD 3y agoWould "Show HN" have been the right way to do it then?
- hunkins 3y agoI tried this initially, but had the exact same experience. So I deleted that "Show HN" post and reposted under the general. Comments blocked both times.
- DamonHD 3y agoInteresting (and annoying). You might just have been unlucky and had a barrage of grumpy "get off my lawn" flaggers/downvoters. (I try not to be one of those, but sometimes fail.)
