Is HN being a bit odd today? My comments don't show to others?


Hello folks,

Is HN having technical issues? I notice that my replies to comments simply aren’t getting any replies themselves, but when accessing from a different hotspot I noticed my comments are not even there to be seen.

It’s like I am a ghost on here. Did I upset Dang something?

I cannot think what I could possibly have said on HN which would deserve a shadow ban, so I am thinking maybe there’s a tech issue?

Anyone else having issues?

Sadly, your behavior is 100% consistent with someone who deserves to be banned and will never understand why. For example, you haven't provided your main account name.

Brand new accounts usually need a vouch for Ask HN. I don't know the specifics, you would have to email dang to find out. I only see one (this) comment from this account created 20 minutes ago unless you are referring to a different account. Either way only dang would know. hn@ycombinator.com
