  (But it isn't fixed for the cases where bad boys and girls submitted job ads as regular stories. That would require a job ad recognizer.)

    I didn't realize people did that! I only checked my own company (vanity!) – I hope we're not guilty of this, if so, I'll raise hell :)

      They do it without meaning to. People building startups don't always have time to re-learn the intricacies of HN.

        Yeah, it's always good to assume good faith :)

    Are those penalised (perhaps on a submitter basis)? A separate flagging feature (jobs ad) might help? Or just plain flagging.
    • dang 11y ago
      When job ads appear as regular stories, users should certainly flag them, whether they're by YC companies or not.

        I meant more that moderation actions (upvotes, flags) after a time seem not to be enabled. Surfacing crap / spam with improved search seems highly likely. It's another thing that happened on Ello. Actually, their fix was pretty slick: spamming profile posts don't show up in normal search.
