The job posting and the separate discussion were deaded. Since there's no other place to mention it now, I'll just mention here how unhappy I was to see [dead] appear for a reasonable, calm discussion about a YC-funded startup advertisement (the only kind of ad that appears here). Having no discussion link on the ad isn't such a big deal, but going out of the way to censor discussion about it stepped over the line, for me.
- kinkora 15y agooh, so i wasn't dreaming about the post. :) Assuming they were censored, I wonder what the reason was. Could it also be possible that the OP deleted it himself? Nevertheless, you're right. It was quite an odd move to remove the post.
- latch 15y agono, i didn't delete it. The original is available at: https://raw.github.com/gist/1051210/fd7008d908c2929f8476ad577b3a7ae3c4cd798f/gistfile1.txt https://raw.github.com/gist/1051210/fd7008d908c2929f8476ad57... The post was deleted because someone made a judgement call. It's a subjective thing. Was it too rantish? Was it not constructive enough? Were the comments any different/better/worse? I'm generally fine with people not agreeing, even if it means you end up on the wrong side of a rule that doesn't seem fair. I'll take some control over none any day of the week. C'est la vie.
- chc 15y agoIn your settings, switch "showdead" to yes and you'll see most things that get killed (but not deleted), such as that post.
