It doesn't feel right for me to comment about an account in response to someone else's post. Maybe I'll say a general thing instead:

We rate limit accounts when they post too many low-quality comments too quickly and/or get involved in flamewars—and we're happy to remove the rate limit when people commit to following the site guidelines in the future. [email protected] is the best place to contact about this.

So it’s common to censor posters this way?

HN is a moderated site. Whether that's censorship or not is mostly a word game; people use that word when they don't like a thing and different words when they do.
