Show us some of the stuff you said so we can judge that ourselves? People can still see with Show Dead turned on, over the many years have never seen anything there that wasn't either inflammatory, spammy or otherwise very low quality.

In my understanding, comments that need moderator intervention would be flagged, not just downvoted. Downvotes and flags are not what I talked about though, this might help with context: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38773957#38777787 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38773957#38777787 HN is the only site where I even comment publicly. No warning restrictions where you don't even know if you are restricted == shadow moderarion. Probably best I simply take a hint though, i should spend my time on more productive things anyways. Although, I really do enjoy healthy discourse with people who know the subjects in question far more than I do. HN should either have different rules for non-technical threads or avoid political/sensitive topics altogether imho. Moderation isn't easy, and I'm only being so critical because I am personally affected. Chances are this comment I spent time composing won't go through and I would have to abandon it because of the restrictions. An unfortunate side effect of it all is others like you can't see I am restricted. Or you would reply to me and I can't reply back because of those same restrictions. I hope we all can take a step back (especially myself) and and forge a new path where we trest others as we would like to be treated (can't ask for more).

  For what it’s worth, I can see your comment and reply. Though I realize that might not mean you can reply back.

I really wish other moderated sites had something like showdead. It's nice to see examples of what kind of content isn't meant to be on a site. (but isn't illegal and purged totlly) reveddit used to exist for reddit, but was killed during the API pricing debacle. A shame I need to create an account to use it though.

  There's publicmodlogs for reddit but they are rarely used, especially in the sort of places they should be.

  I really wish there was some sort of open standard on fair moderation. Honestly, the parallels between bad managers and bad moderators is crazy. They both come down to poor communication and not understanding game theory stuff. Playing chess against a population playing checkers.
