@kissthblade: Your comment (dead) below is very sad. You've been hell-banned for more than a year and a half. It doesn't just seem like nobody is seeing your comments, it's true.
For those without showdead on:
"I posted about the same comment as the parent hours ago. I don't know if anybody even sees my posts, never gotten a response, and my "karma" or something has always been 15. And posting and reading the forum is very slow. What gives?"
Looking through your comments, I don't see an obvious reason you were hellbanned.
- consz 13y agoThis happened to me, too. I spent about a year replying before finally seeing someone mention I was hell banned. I also wondered why the forum was so slow, but it's not particularly well coded so I just assumed its always been like that.
- judk 13y agoThis is why it is important to use a different account on each of your browsing devices, with [showdead] so you can see of you got hellbanned. But I guess if you can do that, you would also recognize the effects of a hellban on your account.
- TuringTest 12y agoIs that something common at Hacker News? I find it worrisome that someone can be banned from a community and not even be aware of it. What's the point of punishing wrong behavior if the one making it isn't aware that it was wrong? I'm trying to grasp how moderation and banning works around here, but it's difficult since neither the FAQ nor the posting guidelines have an explanation about it.
