- burgerbrain 15y agoHe crated that account about a minute before making that post, and likely never had any intention of using it again. (Or in other words, don't worry about it, and let moderation do its thing ;)
- random42 15y agoMay be so. However, Because of the fact that he is a newbie in the community, and not a spammer/troll, I'd like to give him the benefit of doubt. Having a barrage of downvotes, just because you dint know the rules when you are new, without any explanation is not helpful (and slightly unfair and discouraging).
- burgerbrain 15y agoFair enough, but as I recall HN barrages you with the rules as you join.
- random42 15y agoOh.. I remember the opposite actually. (No mention of guidelines), when you join.
