>due to submitting, and subsequently deleting, several test posts to figure out how things work. when can i submit again? idk.
This sounds exactly like what spammers do(and they actually do it too). No wonder the algos are tweaked to guard against it so the new page is not full of viagra spam.
The car analogy is someone trying to get out of a speed camera ticket by stating "I was trying to figure out if the camera would catch me at 5mph over the limit or 15".
If you have a legitimate gripe send an email to hn@ycombinator.com and they might fix your account.
wtf? To me, this reads as borderline crazy, confused, incoherent; Bits and pieces pasted together from various sources which are only tangentially related.
So do I understand this piece(s) correctly that this person tripped over whatever algorithms are in place here, maybe got hell-banned, and is now complaining, er, ranting about it?
ps. Granted, might be because I'm not a native (just supposedly qualified as such) english speaker.
I guess the shift key must be broken on the keyboard. Pro tip: natural reading includes uppercase characters. Oh, and if you're submitting it to a webpage, a touch of styling would be nice. You know, like line wrapping after 80-100 characters?
