We can test your theory here if you like. Upvote this comment and I'll tell you if it counted. If you leave a comment I'll upvote it so you can see if you get upvotes. I'd be surprised if either of these didn't just work.
I lost flagging privileges, it's not binary. You can lose some ability without getting (shadow)banned. How do you know your upvotes don't count? Who knows, maybe there's a karma threshold for that too now.
Do you mean there if a karma threshold on something else? Is it new? I have noticed a marked improvement in HN content in the last two weeks.

How do you find out about that? Doesn't the 'flag' link show up anymore?
Also maybe your voting behavior tripped off some heuristic. If I was trying to prevent spam I'd probably disable voting privileges for accounts that regularly upvote submissions that get flagged/banned.

Done and done. This system is /really/ weird.

My upvote doesn't work either. Never did (tried a few times) -> I just don't upvote.

There's a karma threshold for downvoting and flagging. Those are not new but I ventured a guess that there may now be a similar threshold for upvoting.
