Remove Ban from Submission

1 points by lonetools ↗ HN
As a beginner I made a few posts and they didnt receive any upvotes, and later I found that my posts were only visible to me.

I found out that there is a ban of low quality repeated posts, how do I get out of this ban, so that I can make quality submissions?

HN has a delightfully manual process for such things. You write an email to Dan at <hn@ycombinator.com> and politely make your case.

That said, the problem likely isn't the lack of upvotes, but that your submissions were all to your own site. HN is not intended for advertising.

Getting Dan to reinstate posting privileges for your account will probably require agreeing not to make future posts that look like advertising.

Looking at your submission history, the two Psalms Finder posts might have been flagged by users because, for better or worse, religious topics rarely seem to be a great fit for HN because of the deeply held passions that come out in the comments.

But anyway, I am seeing your post and it isn't dead. And someone else has too based on the comments here.

Good luck.
