I'm afraid you and your friends have been breaking HN's rules quite badly.
This thread was full of comments that look like sockpuppets. We ban sockpuppet accounts.
Also, the story was heavily ring-voted by accounts that have been doing this repeatedly. We penalize accounts that do this, and in egregious cases ban the site.
Thanks for the transparency and clearing that up. I'm sure it wasn't clear to many others that occasionally try to help us be upvoting or commenting on any of our posts. Though this submission was posted to HN by somebody else. I'll make sure that people we know, know about this. Sorry again.

Please don't do these things any more.
