What percentage of HN users are “ghost banned”?
If you comment or post to HN are you ghost banned? My guess would be that A LOT of people here are in the same boat.
It would be a lot nicer of HN to just ban your IP or at least let the user know.

That does not in any way follow, and makes no sense.
You can log in the same HN account from multiple browsers/devices, so you can be you wherever you happen to be coming from. You know, like a normal person.
You know, like with gmail or any number of other online services ... with only rare exceptions such as Line, which has device-tied profiles.
Maybe HN ain't so bad after all :)
Then maybe freshen up on the rules or whatever.
I do not think many people are shadowbanned. Most people comment in a way that doesn't violate the commenting guidelines.
