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.

- 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.

- 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.
