- sctb 10y agoWe detached this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12262995 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12262995 and marked it off-topic.
- gkya 10y agoWhy? I mean as if the parent was on topic... and this is a little joke, jokes don't kill.
- voltagex_ 10y agoThere's low tolerance for jokes on HackerNews. I'm not entirely sure why, but it is what it is.
- tomelders 10y agoTo stop the place becoming like reddit, where all insightful comments are buried under a torrent of jokes. I've had my fingers burnt a few times and then sulked for a few days after one of my many hilarious quips was down-voted into oblivion. But ultimately I think it's for the greater good.
- gkya 10y agoMy comment stays at 12 upvotes. Certainly nobody would want jokes to surpass serious comments, but this is not achieved by killing every single joke. Also, there's another joke on that thread. Sth. that one needs to get used to on HN I think... Randomly picking on arguably off-topic and arguably offending posts proactively. Also, I'm shocked seeing that the mod here has so low karma and so short history of HN usage.
- tomelders 10y agoThe system is far from perfect, but I've never got the impression that the rules are applied malevolently. I wouldn't like the job of moderating comments, it's really hard and ironically people tend to have a zero tolerance policy if they feel hard done to by an error in judgement on behalf of the mods.
