This might need some internationalization support...

pferreir, just a heads-up - you've been hellbanned. This means all of your comments are automatically marked as [dead], but you can't see this.

Thanks for the heads up.

I mean, I noticed that I received some downvotes for a comment I made on a particular post:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2849016

But nothing that justifies a ban. I am not a troll, let alone a recurrent one. Not to mention that the practice of hellbanning is highly unfair and misleading.

Any clue on who I should contact to clear this out?

You'll probably need to start a new account, unfortunately – there doesn't appear to be any protocol for being 'unhellbanned'.

What do you mean? Hasn't anyone thought that people could be banned by mistake?

This is terribly unfair and nonsensical.

Not that I have a lot to lose by abandoning this account, but as a matter of principle it would be nice to have it back, as it is clear that I haven't done anything that deserves such a punishment.
