EDIT: the down-vote on this meta-discussion is a real tyranny-of-the-minority situation. What, there's not enough room in this little crack in the paint of the Internet for a little in-context self reflection? Stay precious.

    On that note, why would HN hellban this user https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=ifyoumakeit https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=ifyoumakeit, https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=ifyoumakeit https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=ifyoumakeit? Obviously, their offensive comment or submission is probably deleted, but they hardly post and their posts aren't bad. Broken system.

      Thanks glibgil. triangleman, I'm not sure why I was hellbanned. After 100+ days of lurking and a handful posts/comments, I decided today to start trying to start participating again. My comment history is pretty vanilla, with one random link that I don't remember even posting on the Uber article and didn't even make any sense in the context of the article. Also, there was never a deleted offensive comment on my account, so I'm not sure why I would be hell-banned. Is there anything I can do to reverse this?

        That account was not banned. All: please follow the HN guidelines and email us (hn@ycombinator.com) rather than posting in the threads. There are two reasons: (a) it's the only reliable way to get things like this fixed, and (b) these meta-subthreads add noise. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
