Are you denying that this is happening?

IMO green accounts with negative points should be assumed to be trolls or agitators. Engaging is a waste of time; just flag if you’ve got the power and move on without a second thought. (I think I’ve been shadowbanned from flagging. What a fucking site, eh?)

I think green and negative should have an indicator really; usually a troll.

It's interesting to me that submissions like this routinely get a dozen or so upvotes very quickly, on what is transparently a very politically inciting headline promising a contentious political editorial.

It's not against the rules, but it's absolutely a tell. If you've lurked on HN with showdead enabled, you know exactly what kind of people rely on green accounts.
