I don’t think it’s in good faith to accuse someone of using multiple accounts to flag your comments without any basis and I believe this type of behavior is directly in violation of the guidelines of HN.
- kragen 5y agoShe's been posting in this thread using two different accounts, "ahoyhere" and "amyhoy", which is why I mentioned it; that, plus the chance that someone might look at the issue who actually had the ability to do so. So I don't think it's "without any basis". I agree that my suggestion that she might have been using that mechanism for flagging might qualify as "insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like"; at any rate, in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28893741 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28893741 she claims her reputation is so low that she's not allowed to flag. Since her "ahoyhere" account has 7448 karma, that claim of hers is probably false, similar to many other claims she's made in this thread. Perhaps that's an honest mistake. However, my suggestion was certainly in good faith; your implicit accusation of dishonesty definitely violates the guidelines of HN.
