Codayus, if you notice this, you appear to be hellbanned (all of your comments for the past 10 days are dead, including the one in this thread). I looked over your comment history and I can't understand why this would be, so I'm alerting you in case you want to ask PG for a reprieve.

I'm not a "having conversations with 'pg over email" kind of guy, but I've found him pretty responsive on "it doesn't look like this person should be banned" mails. Next time, you might find it less effortful to bang out a quick mail to pg@ycombinator.com to fix stuff like this.

(I don't know what the deal is with accidental hellbanning, but it seems to happen with some regularity).

I mailed him already for this user, though.

Thank you. I'll try that approach next time.

Easy way to check if you are hellbanned:

Visit the .org website and you won't be logged in.
