So you were extremely frequently placing posts from your personal blog on HN, and ignored it while it warned you you were getting spammy. Then you reached out directly to Paul Graham, and he eventually stopped responding. Now you're asking the public? Sounds like you had a lot of warnings, bro. I mean, I hope this gets fixed for you, but, you had to know this was coming, because you're telling us about all the red flags you got.

To be fair, his recent posts don't look like spam, but have a low chance to be upvoted either. I guess he overdid it with submissions, and pg banned him. I haven't had much success with my submissions either, but most weren't of much interest here either (as shown by the lack of upvotes :) ).

Assume you are John Gruber of daringfireball.net, wouldn't you be allowed to publish good posts you have written? What kind of throttling is that? I was not posting most of the blogs posts essays I have written, I was only posting essay-ish and hacker culture-related entries. There you go, JGC is posting his own entries http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4521682 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4521682 I didn't know this was coming and I asked for a "contact" that I would use to reach out and solve the problem. I didn't ask the public to remove ban on my website. Read the description first please.
