I assume I was hit by an automod of some kind, as the first thing I did after creating this account was to post a comment with a link (elsewhere in this thread and relevant). Maybe a heuristic to catch bots?
Did not notice being dead myself before reading your comment, so I assume someone vouched for me.
please email the mods at hn@ycombinator.com so they can fix this. (this also goes for yreg: randomly commenting is not an effective way to get the mods to look at something, but emailing will get a response in my experience)
