How is he managing to post these comments repeatedly? I need to make a new account here every day or two because I get flagged almost immediately.


sort by: page size:

It looks like this guy has created multiple accounts and posted the same URL multiple times.

I advise asking him to stop, and when he doesn't leave 75+ comments on any PR he has.

What has he really done to merit being kicked off the platform? He just types in all caps and posts 50 times a day.

He posted the same comment 3 times?

This guy's comment history is abysmal. Can someone just ban him?

It looks like he's responding to each individual comment thread, as if to try to get people to notice via their threads link

He's got a lot of accounts actually because they all keep getting hellbanned.

When his comments show up it is because one or more of us have vouched for it, otherwise you'll only see them with showdead. Look at his comment history.

He gets this treatment because he occasionally posts something technically worthwhile, and because his outbursts are likely a result of mental illness. Even so, very, very little of what he posts is visible to most people because even a lot of otherwise good comments have offensive parts tacked on.

(In this case, the last bit is a reasonably un-offensive output from his random text generator, it would seem).


It looks like this account is trying to engage the community in good faith and every post and comment seems to go quickly dead?

I've only seen this on brand new accounts, but this person has been shouting into the void for at least 7 years.


Maybe he uses other users' accounts to express his opinions.

Looks like he is a bot. Just posting three links everywhere

I don't blame him. He has another account doubt_me. His post got flagged there.

Looks like he is either farming karma, or running some kind of experiment. I found several visited links in his submission history (and all of them reposted 5-6x).

'He' is probably a small team of people using that account to repost paid content. There are dozens of massive accounts like this, I wish I had a comprehensive list to filter them all without going through user history one by one.

> plus he always leaves comments when he does so

How do you know this?


I'm not 100% sure if behind the scenes he has some sort of @dang webhook alert/filter or if he skims comments regularly

This guy is spamming Medium everyday. Has been banned on a few occasions, but creates a new account, writes nonsense and then shares it on HN and Reddit

It's also because he creates lots of fake accounts on HN and Reddit and other places to try to get attention. Moderators are unfortunately too nice in this instance and tolerate his baloney.

This same user keeps posting about it.
