Got it. I found out after reading the rest of the thread. Hope you can figure out the culprit, or he’ll just forget about it after a day.

May be worth showing that message on the registration page right from the start if/when registrations are turned off.

or just hand out invites to people on hn who have an email listed.

i just deployed a "account_enabled" feature so i'll manually approve new accounts coming in to post, but in the meantime you can make your account again

Yeesh. Sad that people seem so determined to prove that you can't have nice things. Hopefully you don't get too discouraged. Happy though that you let my registration through. Kind of expected that my habit of using random usernames would get me flagged.

Site looks great, btw.

Even if it looks like the 2000’s it’s clearly the 20s, where you cannot even post your site on a civilized forum without attracting the trolls…

Anyway, I made a pending account now :)

Walk in, 'user is on probation for this post'. Just like home :) Good luck with it
