- grzm 9y agoThe guidelines ask: > "Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create them routinely. On HN, users should have an identity that others can relate to." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html I understand you don't take HN particularly seriously, but would you at least take the guidelines into account? If you're not willing to be a part of the community, would you at least respect it and not create throwaways for comments like this?
- omeid2 9y agoThere is some kind of poetic irony in asking someone to take serious the guidelines of that which they do not take seriously in the first place.
- grzm 9y agoThe available alternatives when trying to encourage people to abide by community standards aren't particularly appealing.
- throwawaybz0 9y agoLike constantly banning them with extreme prejudice for not towing the line? That already happens anyway, and it’s one reason why sites like n-gate exist. HN is a parody of itself.
