The author of this tweet asks for upvotes on Twitter[1]. isn't that against rules?

- aspenmayer 5y agoPretty sure upvoting for agreement is okay? Also, policing what people say outside HN doesn’t seem productive or supported by the rules.
- xenocratus 5y ago> Don't solicit upvotes, comments, or submissions. Users should vote and comment when they run across something they personally find interesting—not for promotion. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html (just quoting what seems relevant, don't know if this actually falls under that item in the guidelines)
- christophetd 5y agoThanks for pointing this out. To make sure I respect the rules, I removed my tweet linking to the HN thread suggesting people to upvote it for the matter to have more visibility.
- christophetd 5y agoIf that's against the rules, let me know and I will remove the post. It was never my intention to go against HN rules. (I suggested that people upvote the thread for visibility in the community and to start the discussion. When something reaches HN frontpage, I believe it's the voice of the community, not mine anymore)
- christophetd 5y agoI have now removed the tweet linking to this HN thread to ensure I am abiding by HN rules.
- yellow_lead 5y agoThanks. Fwiw I agree with your tweet and personally upvoted it
- UncleMeat 5y agoThe tweet is also wrong, github has responded and claimed they didn't remove the repo.
