I'm not fartattack and have no affiliation, but HN is the only site I know of that violates its own guidelines in the guidelines. It's hard to take guidelines (aka rules) like that seriously, to be honest.

- dang 5y agoThese things are subject to interpretation, of course, but "noob" isn't a pejorative in the sense we use it - it just means a new user - so 'semi-noob' means a somewhat new user, and 'illusion' isn't calling a name. It seems like a pretty straightforward sentence to me.
