Heads up @headbansown and @ffsanotheracct, I can only see your comments after I've updated my profile to showdead comments.

Possible your accounts are temporarily dead?

Please don't post like this. It's off topic and once the comments get vouched for or unkilled by mods, it sticks around as a dangling reference that never gets garbage collected.

If you a [dead] post that shouldn't be dead, you should vouch for it by clicking on its timestamp, then clicking 'vouch' at the top of its page. This is why we added that feature. There's a small karma threshold (> 30) before vouch links appear. Alternatively, email [email protected] and we'll take care of it. Moderators review many of the software-killed comments but there is a time lag before we get to them, since we are not software.

Edit: also, could you please stop creating accounts for every few comments you post? We ban accounts that do that. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Users needn't use their real name, but do need some identity for others 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...

Hey, thanks - on Tor and just created, so probably shadow banned. Thought it was not a bad comment that would make it through a mod queue, but w/e. Thanks for letting me know and hope you get some visible comments!
