Tell HN: If your IP is shadowbanned, even new accounts can not participate

So, I got shadowbanned on HN. No big deal, everyone tells me: happens all the time, just get over yourself, and create a new account to be more constructive this time around.

Eh, Okay...? So, I signed up as https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=syracuse850330

So far so good. Then I submitted https://www.computerenhance.com/p/why-isnt-there-a-createprocess-that

Which went through, except that I couldn't comment on my new submission, as before.

And, guess what? This EXACT link was already submitted 3 days prior, by user-who-apparently-doesnt-violate-guide-guidelines 'indy'

Was I told? No! Was I left to believe my duplicate link was submitted? Yes!

Good job, HN modernazis! I have about 20 pills of benazipril left, which should do the job of getting rid of me for good. Bye!
