Why can't I comment on this, my comments get flagged within seconds?

Who is doing this?

Can you explain why instead of just making my comments invisible?

I'd like to learn.

We'e seeing this one, but it contains no relevant content, so wouldn't be surprising if it was soon flagged.

EDIT: here's what appears to be the intended comment, it's about surveillance and is interesting: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36245520

Thanks :)

Most likely since you are using a newly created account, and an automated system does this. Happened to me as well and kept happening even after months. Was fixed swiftly after I contacted the site admin about it :)

I believe when people 'vouch' for your dead comments, the issue will go away eventually.

Thanks for the info!

Strange that this one didn't get flagged.
