Shills don't care about their accounts, just that they spray their message around. Just curious if the silent system works fast enough.

For my curiosity, by the way, my account was rate limited. Thanks Dang.

Your account was likely rate limited because you decided to make a new account here, and new accounts have severe limitations on rate of posting comments. You could have just as easily decided to use your existing account and would've been fine.

As Operyl correctly said, your account was rate limited because new accounts are subject to rate limits.

Btw, could you please not create accounts for every few comments you post? This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

You needn't use your real name, of course, but for HN to be a community, users need some identity for other users to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...

Ah, I see, could you try asking in a more neutral fashion in the future? I've noticed the last couple years that a lot of potentially interesting or valid criticism sabotages itself with weak implications of conspiracy followed by accusations of persecution.

I never look at the name of the user posting a comment, just at the comment's content. Do people really remember names here? Just such as mine?)

Yep. And have posted a couple of times suggesting mild enhancements for those of us that do. I believe there are plug-in or extension type reader thingymabobs that help with that too.

Your name, alas, is not human-memorable. See also - https://xkcd.com/936/
