That trademark HN moderation at work.
beedogs, you can probably send an e-mail to the powers that be to restore your account. If they won't, then at least you've got a new story worth sharing.
- jusben1369 13y agoThere is a fair bit of irony at play huh? All content being observed. Punishment dishes out arbitrarily and without explanation. Liberty (speech) curtailed. And this is one of the favorite platforms for pro Snowden discussions!
- mpyne 13y agoAnd all because of a legitimate policy goal of preventing the destruction of an insightful commenting community due to the chaos that would ensue if unrestrained posting were always allowed. Ironic indeed.
- jusben1369 13y agoRight. To those who support the policies they make total sense. Without them there'd be unknown chaos. Good add.
- dasil003 13y agoFor the umpteenth time, moderation is not censorship. HN is akin to a private club not a country that you are born into forced to live in. And furthermore, the chaos is anything but unknown. It is mob/troll rule ala slashdot/reddit/4chan and every other online community that grows beyond a critical mass.
- jusben1369 13y agoTo Censor: to examine in order to suppress or delete anything considered objectionable. So this is censoring speech. They have the right to do it as they're a private entity. But don't confuse their right to censor with the definition of censorship. I see that happen a lot.
