I don't know what "hellbanned" means, but I'm unsurprised I got banned for posting about malloc() in a web programming forum.



You definitely weren't banned for posting about malloc. Posts about malloc are good! But yes, the account was banned, and I just looked through the log and I can't figure out why. The IP was banned as well, which suggests to me that your account might have gotten caught by a spam filter that had previously tagged that IP. I'm sorry. We've unbanned the account, obviously.

(If it was a spam filter, I have an idea about how to fix the problem which I haven't yet had time to get to.)


thanks for your intervention.


Could it be the link to the, um, somewhat incendiary blog?


Definitely not. It has been posted 88 times here in 6 years.
