Show HN: I'm seriously concerned about this commenter's mental health

Just look at how many of his comments are flagged in a row.

Does anybody know this person in real life?

Should we just ban him?

Why worry?

The posts are automatically “auto-dead” actually, which means flagged so many times only people who “enable dead” can see them.

There are a lot of users like this. Many never realize they are “auto-dead” and go on posting like this on and on.

Sometimes it’s sad and undeserved (some users have a “negative tone” others don’t like), and other times obvious!

So to answer your question, this is one level of “shadow ban”. The next level hides all posts and they cannot be read at all!

Now ask me how I know that!

Ps, I like to disagree!
