Just randomly ran across a user that appears to have not realized their account was ghosted by mods 5 years ago; as in they have appear to have been commenting for 5 years not realizing that their account was ghosted.
As far as I am able to tell, they were out of line when they got ghosted, but wow, umm they may go the rest of their life using HN has a ghost.
Assuming they could fix there behavior, how does this make any sense? How many users are there like this?

Why are you posting this here, where there's a high chance we wouldn't see it, instead of sending it to hn@ycombinator.com as the site guidelines ask? It seems to me that if you cared primarily about the user, as opposed to stirring up meta drama, you would do the thing that actually could help them.

I thought people with "showdead" enabled could see those and if they upvote enough of their comments the comments become visible and the user becomes unghosted. Is that not the case?
