I 've had my 2 previous accounts hellbanned and i can only guess someone did not like my comments or something although they were by far not my worst comments:
It's my understanding that it is a normal thing here. I mostly visit the community for the curated frontpage links. I also have showdead on, as i often find engaging but controversial opinions at the bottom. Typically the top spaces are occupied by either extremely long posts or some very politically correct opinions that offer nothing as debate fodder. Anyway, given that this is a corporate forum, i think i can live with that.
I would suggest at least letting us know when we are hellbanned, it is a pain to talk to a black hole.
