Ask HN: Why my colleague cannot vote or start a new thread in HN
One of my colleague is a huge fan of HN. But recently he found out that if he add a thread it only visible to him and others cannot see it. Also he cannot vote to any tread. Can anyone explain why?
- spicyxtreme 15y agothat's possibly because he has too low karma like me :) understand how it works better here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=196509 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=196509
- stonemetal 15y agoSounds like he got himself banned. The thought is if you let people who have been banned still post but auto kill them, then spammers will not try to work around their ban. Your co worker can try to contact PG and crew to get himself unbanned or just create a new account. Note you can turn on show dead to see what has been killed in this manner.
- frontcube 15y agoThanks for your answer. Do you have any idea where he can contact the crew and PG? Any email addresses?
