If you have an issue with the content of the OP's comments, you should address it directly. Dismissing a comment because an account is new is weak.

- freehunter 7y agoIf that was true, HN wouldn’t make their name green. The fact that their name is green is an indicator from HN that their comments should be scrutinized.
- 0xff00ffee 7y agoGreat. Now do that. Scrutinize. Rather than complain. All three points the OP made are entirely factual statements. If you detect bias, please inform us why?
- nabnob 7y agoThrowaway accounts are discouraged in the site guidelines: >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. This user isn't revealing sensitive information, and it seems like they are trying to hide a conflict of interest.

- 3327 7y agoI rest my case. As you see he is banned.
- 3327 7y agoThe community guidelines are addressed by other users below... - THE name is green for a reason. - OP can declare in a public domain that he has no conflict of interest by any direct or indirect means. As a long time member of this community, it is a simple and just request. You may choose to diverge the attention elsewhere for your own motives or beliefs. OP: please declare that you are free from any conflict of interest. Thank You.
