You didn't answer the question.

> The submission is going to get censored, ...

    You keep using that word. I do not think
    it means what you think it means.

You submissions aren't being censored. Ordinary, everyday members of HN are flagging them as not adding value. If you spent some time here learning about these things you'd understand the dynamics better, but after our discussion on the other item you submitted complaining about how things work, I doubt you'll do that.

I reasoned about every point we talked about.

As you said, I didn't answer the question, so you don't know how long I've been reading HN.

>I doubt you'll do that

Please! The premise that I don't know how things work seem to be a construction of your desire to argue against me, even if it's not on merit of the argument alone.

OK, you've read my explanations. Let me just add these observations:

* Meta-discussions get flagged by many, many member of the HN community.

* Getting lots of flags tends to get you hell-banned.

* You can complain about how HN works, but it probably won't change.

* Evaluate your time and efforts accordingly.
