I find the negative comments here very surprising and absolutely sympathise with op, especially the inane banned for life aspect of this.


sort by: page size:

This does not seem worthy of a ban on the face of it. My sympathy goes out to OP.

> bans

Ironic given the context

> redemption

I'm actually in the confession booth right now, so consider my sins redeemed!

In seriousness, what do you find so horrible about this post? I thought it was fun.


I don't even know why I got 'banned for life'. No recourse, no explanation.

Good riddance frankly.


OT: In that same comment thread is also a banned user (first time I saw this) where I'm surprised they still have a positive karma count, given the absolute toxic comments this user (troll really) has been giving for months.

Edit: Maybe shadow-banned for the most part of 3 months.


I thought you were banned for life?

> I've been banned for life.

Why would you even consider associating with them again? Ban them for life as well and do your business somewhere else.


Some of these are actually quite funny. Its like the person knew they were getting banned after their comment and were indirectly saying goodbye before slamming the door. Not sure if it makes sense.

I'm banned right now, and I find it refreshing.

I suspect this is in part retaliation of someone or people getting banned for stupid reasons

"was extremely banned in 2015"

Just made me laugh. How are someone "extremly" banned? Either you are banned or not.


Are these the comments that got them banned, or simply the last words on accounts that were doomed based on previous comments?

Certainly some, in isolation, do not seem all that bad. People have said much worse to me without issue. So I have to assume that the bans were based on additional content we aren't seeing here.


that you would threaten to ban for something that got two downvotes is surprising to me

p.s. it's really funny that the bigot brigade is full of people who are such assholes that they'll even attempt to discredit the idea that a ban happened.

You really, really need to get a life.

Really.


Your post really comes off as if you are sore about being banned from some sub.

You have been banned, from life.

I was as surprised as you were! Would never ever post to HN personally if I knew that.

Not letting people know that they are banned, but still allowing them to post is very egoistic.


I don't know what you expect from a website where people go when they get banned from everywhere else.

What exactly did you say? I'm intrigued as to what they consider is the tipping point for a lifetime ban.

(Partly out of sheer curiosity and partly so I can avoid this myself, as I also have a habit of making somewhat feisty comments, when I'm off my meds and in a bit of an obsessive rage about something.)


It's extremely difficult to get reddit banned, let alone this - OP is telling on themselves
next
