| You are shadowbanned and have been writing mostly into the void for the last three months. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48067472 |

| I'm confused, how can I see it, for example? |

| Looks to me that the ban was reversed at some point. The GP's comments are quite reachable. |

| ▲ | inigyou 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | Enable showdead and scroll through their history | | |
| ▲ | marcosdumay 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | They have a lot of dead comments, and their recent comments are all non-dead. Either people are vouching for those again and again, or the ban was lifted at some point. I don't really know how this works here, but the first option seems unlikely to me. |

| Strangely, I'm still seeing the comment. How does that work? |
| |
| ▲ | inigyou 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | A user with enough reputation and who has enabled the option to view censored comments can vouch for a censored comment, restoring it. | | |
| ▲ | rootusrootus 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | I wonder how that algorithm works. At the risk of discussing a bit of a taboo topic (are there rules against this? there might be...), I've never vouched for a comment and had it come alive. I have many times been the final nail in a comment where my flag caused it to die, but I have never seen the opposite with vouch. | | |
| ▲ | losvedir 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Interesting. Every time I've ever vouched a comment, it came alive. (Though the last one I vouched ended up dead again after enough people flagged it, oops. I hope that doesn't mean I lost my power. In my defense, it was flagged to death based on being AI [apparently], which I didn't pick up the signal on, nothing super terrible / controversial.) | |
| ▲ | inigyou an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | You are probably shadowbanned from flagging and vouching, which is separate from a commenting and posting shadowban. A shadowbanned comment only requires one vouch to come alive. A comment that is dead because of excessive flags or moderator action may require more. |
