Did your main get banned? I imagine that would be quite upsetting.
What's a main? I am a little upset that my over the top demonstration failed.

Your main account.
It's been a long, long time since there was value in having identity here.
In 2010, sure, it was possible to make an actual, valuable professional connection on this site... but today? Nah.
This is just a time-waste/wank site, and has been for a solid decade.

If you're serious - the mods won't notice anything you do until you get flagged, which sends them an alert, and even then whether or not they ban you will depend on what they consider the quality of your account, which takes into account your account's age and posting history. That's why most of HN's trolls and assholes tend to hide their most toxic comments behind green accounts. I don't know why you want to be banned, though, it won't result in your account or any of your content being deleted if that's what you're looking for. The only thing you can really do is just walk away.

Yes.
I was surprised when you didn't understand my post and answered literally.
I am less surprised that you're being kind of an asshole in exactly the HN way. You've nailed the shitty, condescending attitude.
You've got a future in wasting your life wanking off here.

This isn't accurate, what are you basing it on? The mods see lots. Maybe too much. Will react to enough flags, or some messages from users who seem trusted. You can get banned in 2 posts. Mods have much more info (like whether you've tried a new green account today) and there's some automation/rules to auto-ban.

I'm not the user who asked you. Best of luck though.

It's based on personal experience and what little I know about how moderation works here. Of course as the mods have told me many, many times, I could just be wrong about everything.
But I've seen plenty of things go by unnoticed and plenty of times the mods will bring up the quality of someone's comments or the age of their account when trying to talk someone down, meanwhile other accounts don't get as much slack. And they'll mention that they "can't see everything," but of course that could be inaccurate.

Even weirder that you decided to snipe then.

Why would I care about any of that?
I was just trying to provide a helpful demo for the OP.
