How to get banned on Hacker News in 7 steps (medium.com)

What did you think would happen? You tried to game the system and you were caught.

Frankly, I feel like dang should suspend your alt (mkrens), flag this article, and blacklist your domain for a while. You're clearly trying to sidestep your flagged status with this "article" of yours.

Lol getting banned for blatantly violating the spirit of HN must be a great HN marketing opportunity.

And no you're absolutely wrong I bet half the posts on HN are boosted just not as stupidly.
