Hacker News Reader

I had this on occasion (one reason I now only upvote and downvote very rarely now) in the past - and know a large number of regulars have too.

Im guessing the formula is just throwing a false positive; you will get it back in a few days.

pg has never explicitly commented on what constitutes "abuse" in the mind of the system - I assume to avoid gaming/avoidance :)

I guess, in the past I upvoted too often, since I've been waiting a month.

I was wondering that it may be so because I gave away too much upvotes compared to my karma.

I say 'Thanks' to you, instead of an upvote :)

I cant recall how long it took for mine to come back.. it could have been a month or two.

(this was on about 2500 Karma I think too; so I dont know if that does affect it).

It turned me into a "mostly reader" anyway :(
