Oh, there's almost zero doubt I've annoyed a moderator at some point.

There's no list of moderators anywhere is there? I could tick off the ones I haven't annoyed.

Nope, no list of moderators. You'll never know who, and you'll never know why, and you probably won't be able to get it reversed.

Also, Macro: The step beyond slowbanning is hellbanning, where nobody can see your comments except you, and users with "show dead" on. You've been hellbanned for over a year. As to why...maybe some mod thought your first comment was a bit content free. Maybe they were just having a bad day. I'd recommend getting a new account.

Haha, poor Macro. Look at his comment history: http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=Macro

wow. Macro posts one slightly vapid but inoffensive comment and is struck by instant death lightning.

Well we know why. I pissed off one of the cool kids. That's crime enough.
