Paul Graham. Isn't it common knowledge that this is his site? I mean, I suppose that legally, it's Y Combinator's, but PG wrote it and has always run it.

I doubt he has the time to read every flagged message. That's why I was asking about what is the hellbanning process, if several people are involved.

You can be hellbanned manually by a moderator (PG is the only moderator whose name is publicly known AFAIK, but there are others) or automatically by the system for going severely negative in karma.
