This is done very poorly here on HN. I got hellbanned on my first account. I have no idea why, and there was no warning of any kind. I have not changed my behaviour in any way as a result, I simply made a new account. I don't see how that helps the quality of discourse. Hell banning needs to be restricted to people who are obviously just being offensive for the sake of offensiveness. People who may be just trying to contribute but break some un-spoken rule should be warned that what they are doing isn't acceptable, otherwise they have no way to adjust their behaviour.
