Why are most of HN user [steve76](https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=steve76) comments banned ? Is it because its a bot ?

[fingerlocks]

More than once I’ve seen dang threaten to ban the alt accounts of an obnoxious user. Perhaps this the “real” account for an alt troll?

Fascinating. I’m curious to know as well.

Thanks for bringing this acct to my attn. Bot or based schizo, good reading either way.

After reading more of these, I doubt this is a bot. Also very curious about the 100% suppression of civil comments???

[chordalkeyboard]

Yes, very weird. Some of his comments were a little out there but I couldn’t see anything very wrong with others. Some were a little off topic.

It kind of appears that the links are marked dead on arrival. Maybe like a shadow ban for bad behavior at some point.
