This is not my first account. 'bjz' was hell-banned: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=bjz https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=bjz It was very disheartening - it was a year before I decided to re-register.
Anyway, I understand the reasoning behind the current system (HN is a huge target for potential spammers), but it really does create a climate of fear. Unfortunately I don't have a solution to this.
- andrewcooke 13y agowere you doing some weird voting? because the comments / submissions don't seem to justify banning. normally with banned accts it's obvious why. in fact, are you sure you were banned? apart from the last comment, which might have been deleted, it doesn't seem to me like you were hellbanned. your other comments are not greyed out.
- bjz_ 13y agoInteresting, perhaps I wasn't. I know I tried to make a submission or two and it said 'Slow down!' all the time, and that the site was very slow. I assumed this meant I was banned.
