Aside: Why do you have so many accounts mantrax? At least one of them is dead, and I'm sure you can imagine why.

HN hellbans, so you might not realize you're not being heard.

I'm seeing [dead] markers from matrax6 and mantrax7 (although oddly enough, not consistently).

Can't comment on the quality of the code. Your problems sound atypical.

None of them are dead. As for why, long story short, because HackerNews' code is really poorly written. Gateway errors, horrendous response times, bogus limits and false positives. My usage patterns are likely not typical, but this is hardly an excuse for such a poor UX.

For example, I couldn't even respond right now through mantrax5...

Next time I'll just take the alternative and instead of making more accounts, I'll just stop visiting the site completely.

Have you reported these HN bugs?
