For the avoidance of doubt, I really genuinely was not meaning to accuse or insinuate. When I said I expected the answers to be "no" and "none", I meant it.
Still, the rules are the rules, and I'm sorry I apparently broke them. I will refrain from asking such questions in the future.
(I've just checked the guidelines and the FAQ and don't see any such prohibition. I see things like "be civil" and "avoid gratuitous negativity", but so far as I can tell I didn't violate those. Is there some other place where I could have learned that I wasn't supposed to say what I did?)
- dang 11y agoI believe you! and didn't mean to imply otherwise. I've posted a ton about this on the site: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&prefix=true&page=0&dateRange=all&type=comment&query=by:dang%20astroturf https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&prefix=true&page=0&dateR... https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&prefix=true&page=0&dateRange=all&type=comment&query=by:dang%20shill https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&prefix=true&page=0&dateR... But we haven't added it to the site guidelines yet. I suppose we should, but we try to err on the side of avoiding bloat. Maybe we can treat them like code and find something else in there that can be removed.
