Good catch, but there doesn't appear to be any attempt at deception and it doesn't really break any rules as far as I can tell. I suppose it could be considered mildly spammy, but then again the articles submitted seem generally to be high quality so as far as I'm concerned it's fine.
- topoftheforts 8y agoImho posting almost every day for 10 months is more than mildly spammy, I agree that the articles are generally high quality but that's true of many other publications. I have no idea if there's other people doing the same nor if it's ok for HN's admins, but as a reader and user of the site I'm not really ok with it, I think we should hold users to a higher standard. If she wants to post every article from the BBC on HN she should at contribute in other ways, commenting or posting other high quality sites. And again, this is directed to any other users behaving in the same way.
