We have rate-limiters for new accounts to limit the damage that can be done by spammers, trolls and flamewar participants.

For users who have valuable contributions to make to threads and are earnest about participating positively to HN, we're happy (really, very happy) to turn off the rate limiters.

You seem to have registered multiple different accounts in order to keep participating in the thread, then hitting the rate limiters each time. Please don't do this. It's confusing for other readers and is against the guidelines [1]:

Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create accounts routinely. HN is a community—users should have an identity that others can relate to.

If you would like us to merge these accounts and turn off the rate-limiter, please email us at hn@ycombinator.com.

I think HN is (intentionally) delaying the ability to reply to deeply nested comments.
