We really need a way of telling when the main link has been modified. The only reason I didn't downvote JonnieCache is because I know his name, because he is a regular contributor, and so I double checked that the url and his comment were the same. Then when I saw they were the same I trusted his comment more than the moderators actions: i.e. I suspect this story link used to go elsewhere.
HN needs tons more transparency on moderation for simple things like this, as well as some of the dodgy issues I've seen in the past. I know a lot of trolls are "rules lawyers", but frankly when I notice changes being done by a select elite for my own good with no accountability or properly outlined rules it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Especially when people complain of opinionated moderation and no evidence remains of it for me to make a determination myself as to who was in the right (I suspect the moderators are right in most cases, but if it's not there it's not there).
I'm taking a break from HN I think.
