> Accounts which are less than 2 weeks old will appear with a green username.
I believe this is actually calculated using the date of the submission they have posted / commented on, instead of the current date. I've seen posts from 2010 where some people's comments have green usernames.

Every time this is posted I wonder why it doesn't cover shadow muting, where you're blocked from commenting for a while but only a see a "posting too fast" error. I thought it was automated but it's been claimed to be a manual decision.
There are other behaviors I've observed but haven't confirmed. For example, highly controversial comments seem to sometimes be manually set to a point value of 1, even when they have dozens of replies making the real vote tally very unlikely to center on 1.

it's worth noting that the "second-chance pool" doesn't have any kind of hard timeout on it–two days ago I got an email invitation to repost a link from
five months ago (reposted:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30438015), and when I asked why, dang explained it was because he was looking to send a second-chance resubmission invite for another, unrelated submission, chose another duplicate of something I submitted, and then went on a rabbit-hole that ended up with him coming across a different submission (the one linked above) from my account. I think that's pretty cool, and I had no idea it worked like that.

I use RES on reddit, and I really miss having the ability to navigate through comments with j/k, nav to parent with p, enter to collapse, etc. I wish they'd add that on this site!

List maintainer here, I'll work on adding the suggestions dang noted here.

Reminder that it's a GitHub repository so anybody can post pull requests (I did so for the list of URLs of user-generated content when I was working on an HN scrapper)

The "web" button is gone for me. Anyone else?

"topics around diversity and inclusion in tech ... tend to be flagged to death by users"
Ouch. Any readers have favorite HN-like forums where this doesn't happen?

I had seen the black bar before, but didn't know what it was about.
