Digg and Reddit pander to this. Don't kill HN.

  363 days ago http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. (It's a common semi-noob illusion.)

    Yeah, think on it a couple of days. Then it will all become clearer.

    They should add a guideline making the obvious observation that the age of any given account says nothing about the length of site use by the account holder. Maybe then we could can the typical "semi-noob illusion" junk. There was an imgur link on the front page a couple of days ago. I believe that was the first time ever. Now the Costco Cavalcade (http://www.reddit.com/domain/costco.com http://www.reddit.com/domain/costco.com -- these SEO clowns have learned that they can grow an account legacy by posting this Costco garbage constantly) has made its way here. Yay! Protip -- Someone should post that TIL that Costco Sells Caskets! Instant front page!

      Personally, I would have been much more amenable to an argument why this is not Hacker News versus why HN is Reddit.
