This could be ok if he was doing an experiment about HN. These tricks of asking your buddies to upvote and retweet seems against the spirit of HN.

- ezalor 16y agoIt's OK while it is sensible (after all, you will inform your friends you have published a new blog post or whatever) and not some heavy "please upvote" campaign.

- ezalor 16y agoSeems not (re-read the guidelines).
