Yeah, the original post was banned. I've unbanned it. There seems to be no good (i.e. standard/accepted) reason for banning the post, so whoever did it should comment/private-message before escalating further. (Will got on a list of ban-able users a few years back for not responding to heavy downvoting of many of his comments, but for the last two years there were no problems with the comments, so they should no longer be easily banned. I've looked through the comment history, and there appears to be no other recently banned content, except that one post.)
(Will: Maybe remove the copy of the text from this post, so that it's only in the original, while this post is focused on discussing the mysterious banning of the original post?)
Thought process: 'Seems like a mistake to ban the post, though I can see how Eliezer might genuinely think the author was using sockpuppets to game the karma system. Wait, this is in Main? What the fuck is wrong with seven people? Or is Will Newsome actually nuts enough to use sockpuppets and lie about it?'
Not in Main, sorry for the confusion. I've now fixed the links. (There is a bug in LW software where links to Discussion posts written in the form of links to Main post will show a Discussion post as if it's in Main, instead of redirecting to Discussion, so it depends on the link which subforum a post appears to be from.)
Edit: Submitted bug reports for this problem to the issue tracker: issue 433 and issue 434.
