Posting out of turn? That's a banning.

Posting from the wrong browser window? That's a banning.

Staring at my post? That's a banning.

Post about banning? Oh, better believe that's a banning.



I'd upvote you, but I'm pretty sure that's a banning.


The algorithms have no parameters for mercy.


They cannot be bargained with. They cannot be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, remorse or fear. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are banned.


Several years into the future..

PG: Unban me, HN.

HN: I'm sorry, PG. I'm afraid I can't do that.


PG is Chuck Norris.

You forgot about The Forbidden Words. The automatic word filter that sentences comments and posts to death.


Is this real, or a joke? Seriously, I've been through the guidelines and faq, and there is no discussion about forbidden words and language, but this is not the first time I've seen a comment about forbidden words. It is not clear to me whether this is real or a meme/joke on here.


I wish it was a joke. I had a comment killed and un-killed (after emailing info), and a similar situation can be seen at (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6151626). Thankfully, at least the moderators are willing to fix such comments after being notified.

The sad part is that most discussions will have died down by then, and it depend on the poster to noticing the killing.
