I'm sorry, I will do better to follow these guidelines and I apologize for violating them.
I do have to say -- I have to question why this comment deserves a personal censure from staff. I read a lot questionable stuff in these comment sections and this is the first time I can recall seeing a personal response like this. I mean I'm talking railing against feminism as a concept and proposing eugenicist solutions to "crime in SF". I guess I must be seeing the comments before the mod team steps in and of course I will make sure to flag them in the future. I appreciate the work you do and of course am not questioning your personal integrity.

- dang 5y agoThe answer is randomness. We don't come close to reading or even seeing all the posts here—there are far too many. Basically, it's the same boring reason as why cops don't pull over every speeder. Of course it always feels like you're the one being singled out when you do get cited (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=%22always%20feels%22%20mods%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...) - but this is an illusion! So when you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. And yes, you can definitely help by flagging it or emailing us at hn@ycombinator.com. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=likeliest%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...
