akinder, it seems your account is "hellbanned" which means nobody can see your posts unless they are logged in and have showdead turned on.
(I'm sorry I have to clutter up the discussion with this, but it's the only way I can communicate this news to akinder)
- DanBC 11y agoYou should check people's comment history before you tell them about hellbanning. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8885392 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8885392 etc etc.
- triangleman 11y agoDo elaborate, please.
- DanBC 11y agoHell banning serves a purpose. If you see someone who has been hell banned you check their post hostory. Sometimes the hellban is accidental in which case you let the person onow. In other cases it's probably deserved, in which case you either let the person know but remind them of the site guidelines or you don't let them know. This poster has a bunch of posts that shouldn't be on HN.
- triangleman 11y agoThen those posts should be blocked, not his good ones. Sorry, but this guy is not abusive. And "hellbanning" is just the creepiest way to moderate a forum.
