Since I don't know how to contact you directly ... My comments got rate limited bacause of two or three dumb comments I made over the span of a decade mostly on religious topics. Does the rate limiting get lifted after some time automatically or is this punishment forever?
I tried asking people here but they didn't come up with an answer except to try to ask you.
- defrost 3y agoIf dang gets overwhelmed with comments here (there are a lot) you can always email directly to hn@ycombinator.com ideally from your email used to register here and ask to be returned to normal after acknowledging dumb comments. I was rate limited for several months until in conversation with dang about an entirely different matter I mentioned that I'd reply in more detail but for the matter of being rate limited. I guess that triggered a manual look at my comment history and I was upgraded to "mostly harmless". I don't expect that to always work as not every reply to comments will get read.
