Regarding https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10066392: yes that (your other) account got hellbanned [correction: submission banned since older posts are still displayed]. Most likely because you ask for posts to be upvoted. Any "please upvote if..." doesn't work on hackernews.

Hi had a decent Karma of 299 at that account. One day I noticed my posts to HN aren't bringing any traffic at all. This seemed odd so I checked and learned about hellbanning. I never asked to upvote my posts (until the final post in that account to check if I was hellbanned).

Wish my other account was brought back to life. I will continue with this one, be more strict with what I post.

I think the main problem is this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9937710 "Can this entry be upvoted to the HN front page?"

You can try contacting the moderators. From the guidelines:

> If you want to say something to us, please send it to hn@ycombinator.com

Totally forgot about this one. Just wanted to test an idea... I guess I should be be banned according to the guidelines.

thanks for providing the email to contact.

You were submission banned with your previous account, likely because you were posting content-less submissions like this.

Just trying to submit a post from my website. If it's not to the point, just let me know. I'll delete my submission and stop sending in. Not trying to ruin this place.
