I doubt it but maybe you can tell me more about the wrongness.

I've noticed this phenomenon of disappearing posts as well.

There are "flagged" posts, which say [flagged] and then there are disappearing posts which just, disappear!

I have had such posts open in separate tabs, and when refreshed they and their content show up blank.

They don't, unless the poster deletes them and that only works if there are no comments (for story posts) or replies (for comments).

Go to your profile and check the 'showdead' checkbox. You will see more crappy things but if that's what you want, they'll be visible to you.

Try logging in as a new account with less than 15K of karma and speak passionately about topics which mean something substantial. It's a different HN world view.

I'm not sure what this has to do with the idea that a generic Ask HN about HN itself is going to be 'disappeared'. HN posts are almost never 'disappeared'.

But maybe you can find some links to examples of the bad things you're describing? There's people commenting on all sorts of topics all the time and the overwhelming majority of their comments appear to be doing fine.

And separately, some people apparently vote down if they just don't agree with you, even if it is a valid comment.

What happens after 15K karma?

We don't discuss that openly.
