What if I don't have to pay this month's rent and launching the site today instead of five days later amounts to $500? Both of these are true for me right now. The creators of HN can't possibly know the cost to a user to post something. How did you estimate that "it will not kill me" also means it will not kill my spirits to not try again? How do you measure this cost? > Nothing springs to mind that is that important that: Merely because nothing springs to mind isn't proof that no such thing exists. > What specifically did you have in mind?

This proves that it happened to you for the content that you posted, not that it's a general issue. Even if we assume your content is indeed "legit" then this seems like an inconvenience to you but not particularly one to this community. Which one do you think the community would value more?
> How do you know it will not kill me?
Unless you are posting from beyond the grave then it did not kill you. QED.
If you won't present specifics then I don't see why anyone here should care that you're disgruntled about it.
