Stop writing nonsense please. First he is a reputable submitter with a lot of submissions and now all of a sudden it is about you? Also FYI - there is no vouch

Stop writing nonsense please. First he is a reputable submitter with a lot of submissions and now all of a sudden it is about you? Also FYI - there is no vouch button on HN, which hat did you pull that out of? Oh, and how convenient that your profile is all about SQL also. Just a happy little coincidence isn't it?

Relax. > now all of a sudden it is about you? Am I missing something? You accused me of being affiliated with the person you accused of being a spammer. You made it about me; I'm simply defending myself. > there is no vouch button on HN, which hat did you pull that out of? There is a vouch button for flagged comments, and also for some submissions. I can literally see "vouch" links next to [dead] submissions in /new. So I "pulled it out of" my extensive history interacting with the site. > how convenient that your profile is all about SQL That shouldn't be surprising to you based on the fact I acknowledged it in my earlier comment. The fact I have a SQL-related startup is the reason I clicked on the Show HN in the first place.

    > Who asked you to defend yourself? You did, when you accused me of being a shill. (Perhaps the resulting toxicity is precisely the reason why there is a rule against accusing someone of being a shill.)

        Dude, go for a walk. You sound unhinged. Why are you quoting the definition of gaslighting to me? You're describing your own comments (you accused me of being "part of this spam campaign," so I defended myself by assuring you I am unaffiliated with the submitter, and then you implied this didn't happen by asking why I was defending myself - in other words, you "gaslighted" me. If you question this reality, I suggest scrolling up and reading your comments, all of which I quoted inline in my replies to them). btw, here's a link [0] to their documentation page which includes a video of the "co-founder of logicloop," featuring her "name and face" (the absence of which you found so suspicious about the blog posts). It took me two minutes of clicking to find this page and make the determination the site is probably not "spam." If anything, it's a vaporware landing page intended to validate a product that doesn't fully exist yet. And perhaps it shouldn't be a Show HN since you can't immediately try the product. But I think it's definitely unfair to classify the submission as "spam" based on some indicators that don't even apply to it (you say there is no name and face, but I just linked you to a video with the name and face of the cofounder).

        > go check out this website That's what I just did. After clicking for two minutes, I found a video with the author's name and face, which directly contravenes the primary evidence you cited (lack of name and face on blog posts) for the site being spam. The documentation also includes screenshots of the product. Like I said, I'd be willing to concede it might be a vaporware landing page that is collecting demo leads, and therefore ineligible for a Show HN. But as far as I can tell, the author is a real person and there is at least some work behind the product, as demonstrated by the existence of a website, documentation and explainer videos.

You broke the site guidelines extremely badly in this thread. You can't attack other users like this on HN. We ban accounts that do. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it. p.s. I do appreciate your concern for the quality of HN. but this is not at all the way to advocate for it.
