Ask HN: Reporting Hacker News UI Bugs

1 pointsby zunzunalmost 6 years ago
I accidentally stumbled on what might be a HN shadow banning "bug", where it is trivially easy to determine when individual comments have been shadow banned. What is the correct way to report this to HNews?

You can create a second account and enable &quot;show dead&quot; in it&#x27;s profile, to see all the live and dead comments. So the ban is easy to notice if you are looking.<p>(Also, there are some false positives from time to time, so you can &quot;vouch&quot; the dead comments, and with enough vouches they revive.)
