We definitely banned you, for the reasons I gave at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46699941 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46699941. Banned accounts can still post to HN but their posts are killed by default.
You seem to be asking about https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46694184 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46694184 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46691754 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46691754. Those comments were killed by user flags. That was before we banned you.
- immibis 10mo agoThe buck always stops with the platform owners. You don't get to blame users for moderation decisions.
- dang 10mo agoBy that argument, it's we who are doing all the upvotes, downvotes, and flags on the site. I don't think most HN readers would look at it that way. The distinction between moderation done by users (votes, flags, etc.) and moderation done by admins (killing posts, banning accounts, etc.) is long established and well understood by the community. It's not about blaming.
