Ask PG: Why is everybody hellbanned?
I submitted a link a few days ago about a possible IE 0-day in the wild and it immediately became "[dead]". It's the first submission I've ever made and I haven't, AFAIK, broken any HN rules since I finally created my account (after years of lurking).<p>On a related note, you will be hellbanned if you create an HN account over Tor (even if you "don't do anything wrong").<p>Considering the recent NSA revelations, I think that's pretty unfair but, hey, what can ya do...
