Lobsters user says account banned over suspected AI writing and self-promotion
What happened
On November 4, Hacker News' front page carried a Lobsters veteran's account of being banned. He says his self-built BBS domain had been blocked for nearly a year over self-promotion, with no reply from moderators. Then an outside AI detector labeled one of his replies "100% AI-generated" and several users reported it. Moderators banned him for "only self-promotion, slop." The reports so far contain only his own account.
