They 'take out' users for much less.

obviously in a non-educated manner, or on a personal preference basis ?! appears so, yes. i still try figure out what happened to my account i can't login with all of a sudden

whatever, it's not transparent and not even possible to figure out if, for instance, one got banned when eg l/p reset appears to work [emails sent, new pw chosen] but still one can't login [at login it keeps shouting : 'password incorrect']

where to go, what to do ? their >help< lets one circle in a way more dumb dull manner than opting for self-mummyfication journey on the shortest Moebius band imaginable

As do the moderators of Hacker News.
