I’d appreciate if you made it transparent in the rules how many points are required to post in Ask HN. I recently posted a job related question there, but it never posted. I didn’t even receive a response as to why. Felt like I wrote a letter, handed it to someone, and they tossed it into the trash without even opening it.
- dang 4y agoAnyone can post to Ask HN. There's no karma limit. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35326541 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35326541 certainly posted, and would have shown up on both /newest and /asknew. But it wouldn't have ranked on /ask (or not for long) because the upvotes on it were mostly dropped by our anti-voting-ring software. It looks like that was a false positive. I'm sorry! We don't know how to write anti-abuse code that doesn't have false positives.
