My main issue was with the deplorables comment. I actually quite like the HN system of vouching.

I remember seeing you restore a post from someone who made their account via tor and their comments were auto-deleted. Their next post was autodeleted in the same way, so I presume that this feature is buggy (or was, as this was quite a while ago).
There might be other explanations. For example, if an account shows signs of being connected to previous banned accounts, we might unkill a good post, but not immunize the account overall, until it establishes more of a track record.
I'm glad you like the vouching system! I still feel like it's the best single change we've made to HN since pg retired.
