Please don’t accuse people of being trolls, it goes against the HN Guidelines:
>” Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken.”
- brimble 5y agoHN desperately needs personal block lists. [EDIT] OK, some explanation is in order: because it's very bad at curbing posters who are either trolling or just very bad posters but it's not clear which (which is, precisely, what a classic troll is, when this is achieved on purpose), and its anti-poster-recognition design makes that even worse. Just let me block the ones who I find consistently posting what are either super-ignorant takes or are trolling, because it doesn't really matter to me which is the truth.
