Mandatum, if you see this, you're hellbanned. Since I can't reply to your comment about many apps like this not working in Firefox, this particular tool does work for me in the latest build.
I agree that many cutting-edge browser apps work in Chrome and not Firefox. Is it a case of browser specific syntax that people default to webkit for?
- cpncrunch 13y agoDid Mandatum get hellbanned for saying that the app doesn't work on Firefox?
- nathancahill 13y agoIt's hard to say, it might have been from his first comment, a year and a half ago: "Seriously?" [0] Poor guy has been posting decent comments since then, probably wondering why no-one replies. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4144856 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4144856
- cpncrunch 13y agoAh, that makes sense.
- runn1ng 13y agoPoor guy. The hellbanning system on ycombinator is terrible. Hellbanning should be reserved for the most obnoxious of spammers, not for random innocents.
- baby 13y agois it that bad? A lot of people enable the option to see ghost comments. And then act when needed. It's called auto-moderation and it does seem to work.

- mburns 13y agoIt works, but not well. Case in point: It took 18 months for this user to be discovered.
- timdorr 13y agoOr it should be able to be lifted if their comments get enough upvotes from people that have showdead enabled.
- pekk 13y agoit's a nice idea but susceptible to people making their own vote rings to unban themselves
- corin_ 13y agoWhy would they bother? The point of hellbanning is to stop people who don't realise nobody is seeing their comments, if they realise it then they'd just create a new account rather than a vote ring.
- theknown99 13y agoIt's far easier to just logout, and create a new account.
- roryokane 13y agoI remember on some HN thread about 6 months ago that pg acknowledged that hellbanning is not always ideal, but he said that he didn’t have time to spare to implement any alternative form of banning in the software. And HN is not open-source, so if pg doesn’t have time to write the feature, there’s nothing anyone else can do to help.
- calbear81 13y agoI don't think so. It did sound like that at first then I realized he meant since he couldn't reply to Mandatum, Mandatum must be hellbanned.
- glomph 13y agoThis site needs a solution to bad commenters that doesn't result in discordant comments like this.
- nathancahill 13y agoIt might have worked? He was just un-hellbanned.
- BlackDeath3 13y agoWelcome back into the land of the living, Mandatum!
- theknown99 13y agoUntil the next time... Seriously. Hellbanning is the worst part of hacker news.
- vr000m 13y agothey should use https://code.google.com/p/webrtc/source/browse/stable/samples/js/base/adapter.js https://code.google.com/p/webrtc/source/browse/stable/sample... to make it work for both browsers.
- ninjac0der 13y agoI would like to request a hellban for my account, please? I think it's what I've wanted from this site all along, to be able to feel like I've address this sad group of over-engineering fools without the social consequences.
- ninjac0der 13y agoPlease don't upvote me you complicit fucks, I meant it.
