One account has been submitting exclusively from this site. Accounts that do that eventually lose submission privileges.

In general, though, Nautil.us produces good articles and most of the submissions have been from users with solid histories. We'd be lucky if the median story quality on HN were as high as the current post.

yeah, I agree. I don't consider it spam if the articles are of such high quality.

While you're here, can you negate all the ridiculous negs against my account ("rankban", slowban, problems submitting articles) that have accrued over the years? You've had less-than-competent predecessors, I'm afraid.

Thanks!

Slowban? Is this why HN takes several seconds to load if I'm logged in, yet if I'm logged out it is pretty much instantaneous?

Honestly, I can't keep up. There are so many passive-aggressive ways the operators of this site have to fuck with users, that at this point if there is some hiccup with the site, I assign equal probability to some site issue, or I've made another fucking list I've never heard of, for reasons I'll never know, or it's actually nothing at all. Is it confirmation bias? Did I piss off someone 'important'? Who knows?

You'll generally have better luck through email...

...generally.
