Thanks, I understand. In the meantime can you point me to where the policy is? I don't see it in the Guidelines[1]. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines

  There are zillions of moderation practices like that one. They all appear repeatedly in my moderation comments, often with search links that point to past examples. But we don't make a formal list, for a bunch of reasons. One is that it would make the guidelines so long that no one would read them. Another is that we're not bureaucrats. A third is that if you make a list of everything, people will conclude that if something is not on the list, it must be ok, and that's not at all how HN works. It has always been a spirit-of-the-law, not a letter-of-the-law place.

    Merely wanted to familiarize myself with any rules that I was not aware of. Cheers.
