What's likely happening is someone's vouching for your comments. I did that for your other one.

You should rapidly become considered a normal user, but I'm told emailing HN is what you do if you continue to be auto marked dead.

How do you vouch for someone? I can't see an option - is it like flagging?

Click the time stamp of the comment and the vouch link should show.

You need a karma level of 30 for the flag / vouch links to appear. You need to have showdead turned on to see the comments that have been flagged.
