Indeed. I get weights upon quality of domain.
But the evidence I have, is when I've posted things about (later find out) as YC funded companies, are killed on the spot.
I confirmed my beliefs by posting, and then going to my VPS and checking the page there. The title, content, and everything was stripped out like a sort of inverse hellban (on article, not user).
The only cite I can find any sort of corroboration is this https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
Which states "Similarly, please don't use HN posts to ask YC-funded companies questions that you could ask by emailing them."
- dang 10y agoWhat you're saying is completely false. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12567245 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12567245. That sentence in the HN guidelines got put there because at one point people were using HN as a kind of customer support, which got irritating. Since that's not really common anymore, we can probably just take it out. We're about to add a bunch more guidelines so it would be nice to remove a few anyhow. Actually I wonder if "Please don't make claims about HN moderation without links to the specific threads you're talking about" should be one of the new guidelines. We're happy to answer specific questions—and if we've done something bad, apologize and fix it—but the dark sinister stuff is always too vague to address directly. Edit: btw we get that people sometimes arrive at the wrong conclusion in a completely well-intentioned way. In most cases it really is easy to clear up.
