Ask HN: Am I going to get hellbanned?

3 points by findwork ↗ HN
At the time, I thought it was a good idea...

However, not many others liked the fact that I tried using the monthly "Who is Hiring" to promote my own idea. Thus, I incurred a number of thumbs down on this relatively new account that has put me into "-" karma.

Will this account be hellbanned/ghosted now?

I now know that my marketing ploy was a bad idea, but live and learn (so let's not discuss that part of it).

I think you'll be OK since your account was not brand-new.
