Yes this happened to me, despite being polite and courteous. Was very fucking annoyed.
It's unethical. Surely locking a thread is ok, but allowing people to toil away without any remark is just plain wrong regardless of who it is or what they say.
I mean even 4chan manages to reach a higher ethical plateau than HN on the moderation front.
- burntsushi 13y agoPragmatic response: If you can, put some way of contacting you in your HN profile. Conscientious HN readers will send you mail if you're posting thoughtful comments but are hellbanned. You can then contact the admins, and I've found they are typically amenable to restoring your account.
- jordanthoms 13y agoCouldn't you also just occasionally check to see if your comments show when you are logged out?
- burntsushi 13y agoSure. But that's a pain and easy to forget. :-)
