You should just mail [email protected] about this stuff.
Or: write a short blog post about it, and post that, on your (different) domain.
What if their goal is more to raise awareness about HN moderation practices than to fix the problem quickly?
It's certainly worked. Lots of people have seen this and now have a slightly worse opinion of HN moderation.
Are you asking them to be specific about what they dislike or something?
I feel like the answer to "What practices?" is obvious: "The reason the submissions were being killed is that the GitHub account's address had been banned on HN due to previously being submitted by spam bots."
People tend not to attribute random spam filter breakdowns to the humans moderating content, other than when a specific person suffers over it and takes especial umbrage. It’s more likely that people who visit the story will now have a slightly worse opinion of OP, which sucks because OP is using a poor method to make a good report of a meaningful problem that needed solving. Methods matter! This meeting should have been an email.
