Please don't shame users for creating new accounts. I appreciate that you're trying to protect HN, but we definitely don't want to attack people for joining the site. The damage that does in the case of a genuine new user is much worse than the benefit it provides in the fake user case. If you suspect abuse, please follow the site guidelines and email [email protected] instead so we can look at the data.
