Presumably you don't have show dead turned on, here is their only post (just below here):
Why is this, when forces working with the German government itself can apparently swoop in unannounced? How is there any advantage to living in Germany? I'm genuinely interested in understanding.
- SamReidHughes 13y agoI read the post. It's a bad post, and it could be a precursor to a toxic account. It's got the tone of a bad attempt at trolling. (It's at least clear the poster is either a bad troll or can't apply a modicum of critical thinking of their own.) HN has other information it can take into account when hell-banning somebody, like IP addresses, too. Go ahead and try making new accounts and see if you get hell-banned. Set them up from cafes and the like if you're worried about it being correlated with your IP address (and thereby treated as less likely to be a bad account). I've done this quite a few times recently and those accounts making one or two comments have never gotten hell-banned.
- grey-area 13y agoCouldn't disagree more.
- SamReidHughes 13y agoOf course not, I wouldn't have replied in the first place if I agreed with you.
