Why not debate the article, there are many anti-China articles on the first page too, like in this case is very interesting to see what the technical issues are and how can be work around them.
- 20190820234322 7y agoSure, but pro-China shills should not be allowed to post on HN, period. It's in violation of the policies. Dang, can you look into this?
- StreamBright 7y agoWhich one in particular? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html I found one that applies to you. >> Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create accounts routinely. HN is a community—users should have an identity that others can relate to.
- 20190820234322 7y agoDo you honestly not see how shilling violates the guidelines? Also, the line you quoted 'applies' to me in the sense of explicitly permitting throwaway accounts.
- detaro 7y agoapropos rules regarding shilling: > Don't make insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, spying, or similar abuses. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried, email us and we'll look at the data.
- 20190820234322 7y agoThat applies only to insinuation, i.e. vague hints and suggestions made without giving evidence. I'm not insinuating but outright accusing OP to be a Chinese shill on the basis of his posting history. The evidence is there in his post history for all to see.
- detaro 7y agoNo, that difference does not exist.
- 20190820234322 7y agoLook it up in the dictionary
- detaro 7y agoI'm not talking about the dictionary definition, I talk about what the HN rule means and how moderators enforce it. If you need to dictionary-lawyer your rule violations it seldom does you good.
- 20190820234322 7y agoWell, how do you know what the rules mean? You have no direct access to dang's head. All one can rely on is the explicit words written, and the meanings of those words as defined by the dictionary.
