Quite simply, you don't. You make your awesome point in one or two posts and then move on. Moderators will flag and rate limit your account if you get chatty. This website is a notional fraud in that it masquerades as a forum of sorts, but cultivates twitter style fire and forget engagement through its poking and prodding of the userbase.
- lapcat 3y ago> Moderators will flag and rate limit your account if you get chatty. I've never experienced this.
- superchroma 3y agoIt depends if you annoy one or not. They're trigger happy and there's no walking it back once it happens.
- stevage 3y agoThere is so much about HN that it seems that various users know, but which is completely un-findable. All this stuff about moderators, for instance. Not documented anywhere. Weird.
- superchroma 3y agoYes. There is a (third party) GitHub page documenting a lot of the hidden code features, which you may like to check out. The excuse constantly given for all this arbitrary behavior is that "this is what it takes to build a high quality community". Considering this has resulted in what is just 'big-kid reddit', I strongly disagree with this position, but I guess if nothing else all these rules and unaccountable exercises of power serve to cultivate an orthodoxy that is strongly sympathetic to the leadership, which is I guess the true goal. YCombinator is not in the business of hosting a social network so it's not reasonable to expect anything from them really.
- stevage 3y agoHow do I find it?
