I don't know for a fact that you're not part of that elaborate joke, either. A bunch of new accounts all commenting similar positive comments, 'sctb identifies the behavior, bans accounts, asks them to stop and they do. The simplest explanation is, yes, there was spam.
- bbcbasic 10y agoOccam's Razor shouldn't be used when accusing people. Also, check my karma and previous comments.
- grzm 10y agoThe only accusation (if you choose to call it that) that I'm aware of is the initial comment by 'castis upthread. I don't believe you're part of the spam brigade. A comment like "we can't be sure" when there's pretty clear evidence of what happened doesn't add anything meaningful to conversation. It's tough enough addressing abuse on HN without suggesting, even possibly in jest, that we shouldn't do so. This all goes back to the initial comment: if a member suspects there's abuse going on, contact a mod, and let them sort it out. The rest of this is just noise. Edit to add: Even if it weren't spam in the sense of advertisement for sashido.io, but only a joke, it's still abuse of HN.
