(I'm not a moderator here, though I was in another high-profile site) In particular, jbob2000 made several low-quality or sarcastic comments, not very in line with what HN wants.
The one that probably triggered the hellban:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9382992 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9382992
was a sarcastic:
"Oh no! Giving something away for free! The travesty!"
but he had others like:
"Foursquare? What is this, 2009?"
which don't contribute that much.
- BinaryIdiot 11y agoAh thanks for the clarification. Today I learned.
- dang 11y agoWe're working on some major changes to how banning and flagged/dead comments work, so please put a mental asterisk alongside all of this. Assuming our changes hold up in testing, the community will soon be managing most of it.

- diminoten 11y agoThe community you say? I might be doomed...
- BinaryIdiot 11y ago> the community will soon be managing most of it I see this as an awesome thing and as a horrible thing at the same time. Color me interested, ha.
- dang 11y agoNote that word most. I'm hopeful we can find a good balance.
