They've been working on C2V for a long time now and even still it falls over quickly for anything other than the exact version of doom they are using. Multiline comments crash the tool for instance.

I don't know what the story behind your account is, but it looks like you've been posting mostly in threads on this one topic for a couple years now. That's not cool on HN, regardless of how good or bad you feel a programming language is.

(I noticed that you've also posted a few comments about other languages, like Rust and C++, but they're a minority of your posts, and unfortunately quite a few have been flamewar comments too - which is not what this site is for.)

HN is for intellectually curious, respectful conversation on topics that interest you. Since agenda-driven or single-purpose accounts aren't compatible with that, we don't allow them here. We also don't allow trollish usernames (see https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...), which given the account history, this looks like.

I've banned the account for that reason, but if you want to pick a different username, we'd be happy to rename it and unban it. hn@ycombinator.com is the best place to let us know what username you'd prefer.

It would be good to review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and make sure you're down with using HN as intended, too.

Yes! Thank you! I have noticed this account constantly trolling V posts as well, amongst a few other user accounts. I feel it's fine to express concerns in one or two posts, but to repeat them for years is wrong and bullying. Is there a way to submit these accounts or report them?
Thank you.
Complete lies. DOOM is full of multiline comments. And we have a bunch of non DOOM tests.
