Understood. If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future. We're happy to unban anyone who we believe will use HN as intended going forward, and it's usually pretty easy to get us to believe that. I'll probably ask you to rename your account though. It's mildly (well, very slightly) trollish, re which see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....
