I'm always confused about "Guidelines" and "FAQ". It seems that whenever I have a question about HN, I need to consult both, because it is not clear at all which site covers which question.
Maybe "Guidelines" and "FAQ" should simply be merged?
Edit: Opened an "Ask HN" submission about this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15255270 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15255270
- icebraining 9y agoI think Meta Ask HNs are also discouraged :) you're supposed to send them an email.
- grzm 9y agoI understand what you're saying. There's the Show HN guidelines as well. One could imagine them all as three sections on one page. The guidelines are for what you should do; the FAQ for general information. Then again, they're short. It's not a lot of effort to check both.
