Look like you banned users from India from posting stuff when the account is new. This is very discriminatory in nature, while you allow users from other countries to post without any such restrictions.<p>I created new account to post some anonymous stuff , but I was shown message "Sorry, your account is too new to submit this site"<p>I tried searching it on google, look like country specific banning<p>https://www.quora.com/Hacker-News/What-should-I-do-when-I-get-an-error-Sorry-your-account-is-too-new-to-submit-this-site<p>-Hemant
HN is a spam magnet. The tricks successful sites use to avoid spam are complicated. You've probably run up against one of them, and are now telling yourself a dramatic story to explain it. The reality is probably much more boring.
Well you are new here and it is pretty common for new accounts to be restricted to counter accounts being made for spamming. It looks like you have no real proof it's because you're in India but have insisted and speculated that is the reason. I would've gone about it a little differently especially regarding the tone you're using. Even waiting a day or so would've been a good idea and taking your time to post links as well or you will get flagged as a spammer.
I'm not associated with HN apart from being a user, but your comment has aroused my curiosity. I've seen no evidence for what you're suggesting, so I was wondering if you could provide some. What have you tried to submit, and why do you think it's specifically users from India being targeted like this?
I am wondering how will you ban folks coming from a country. IP based? As far as I know HN code is open source. So if that is still true, you should be able to see it in the code.
"This is very discriminatory in nature"<p>I don't think pg would have any problems adding a waiting period to accounts from San Francisco IPs if they overwhelmingly were responsible for spam.
Some things to take into account:<p>* Might be IP-based banning?<p>* Banned domains?<p>* Banned username-styles?<p>* Might be in the middle of a new-account surge?
