While you are there, go through dang’s comments timeline https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=dang

Moderating something like HN is a very hard job. Gratitude .

I understand why but I don’t like how people are individually rate limited silently without their knowledge. It is certainly immoral

EDIT: unfortunately I cannot defend my point in the comments, as I am now rate limited :)

EDIT 2: /u/Dylan16807 yes I'm seeing that. When I try and post it says "you are posting too quickly, please slow down"

>>bowsam+Fg
That was done to me as well. I still have no idea why and when I finally got it lifted dang didn't know why either. One of the most infuriating experiences I've had in a forum, and actively made worse by the sycophantic adoring articles going around at the time citing their "personal human touch". dang explained that they can't possibly have time to give everyone that personal human touch! But not to the reporters, apparently.

Have you considered asking for a refund?

>>tptace+Ur1
HN is free. If you paid for it, you have been scammed

>>bowsam+Eu1
He knows that. I suspect he is implying that I have nothing to complain about because it is a free service, which is a pretty vacuous argument.

>>lazyas+rw1
It's a response to your expectation of personalized service.

>>tptace+1x1
I think you need to take a basic class in ethics if you think ethics are determined entirely by rights and law

>>bowsam+B22
A stranger providing you a service for free doesn't have an ethical obligation to answer your emails.

>>pvg+sk2
Personally I think they do

It actually has, that sense of obligation is me, since I am the universe

>>bowsam+L14
Other independent observers may disagree on your self-assessment.

>>shadow+H64
If they think that I’m not the universe, they’re wrong
