Hi. Thanks for letting me know about this. Indeed, I told my developer friends to check out our open source project and give us an upvote if they liked it. Ok. Now I know that it is not allowed! Then please make a banner on the submit form.
A feedback for HN: if you are looking for stories, then delete show HN category. There is no story in what I want to show. It's simply the project that I wanted more developers to know. That's why I put in the "Show HN" category -> to show to HN. If you don't want people to show the projects, why did you have this category?? Very contradictory.
Also please remember that - No algorithms are perfect, neither are human's judgements!
- dang 7y ago"Stories" in this context is just a synonym for submissions, i.e. top level posts as opposed to comments. I've edited my comment above to use the other word.
- inpooling 7y agoThat's fair. Since I have asked friends to upvote, so I have nothing to argue about the penalty. The rule is the rule. Questions: I only have 2 karma, will HN prioritize posts posted by people with more karmas - with the assumption that the posts have similar "interesting" level of content? If I want to resubmit, will I still get penalty for my github link?
- dang 7y agoHN doesn't prioritize posts based on user karma.
