It's certainly irritating and frustrating, but it doesn't make it ok to break the rules.

If you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. (There are far too many posts here for us to read them all.) You can help by flagging it or emailing us at hn@ycombinator.com.

(Mostly a rhetorical question) I'll probably never be able to do that if it's based on karma but my question is, if I stop saying things that get my comments flagged but proceed to get into negative ranking (ex: -50 or maybe -100 if I get on an unlucky roll) will I be banned by the system automatically? I assumed so which was the other reason that annoyed me

If karma goes below a certain threshold (I think it's -12) then the account's comments get autokilled, but only for as long as the karma remains below that threshold.
