I seem not to have made my point clearly, so I will try again. I'm not asking you for examples so I can "take a look at it". I'm saying that your claim is false.
> Right now it's easy to create an account and then just post slurs on 30 or 40 threads before getting shadow banned
Between community moderation, mods, and software, I believe the vast majority of accounts posting slurs get banned quickly. However, if I'm mistaken and you're right, then HN must be replete with slurs (we are, after all, "doing nothing" about them in your view), and in that case there should be plenty of examples.
That's what I was asking you for. Let's see all these accounts that are "posting slurs on 30 or 40 threads without getting banned". If it's that easy, there ought to be plenty, no?
I'd be surprised if you could find even one. I'm aware of only one in the last few months, and that was a borderline case because its comments were getting killed for other reasons.
So far, the only account you've mentioned [1] is one that we banned on the day it started posting, none of whose comments ever made it out of the [dead] state. In other words, a counterexample. If you're going to make huge claims, I imagine most readers would want to see examples that illustrate your claim, not ones that contradict it.
