N=1 is not a trend. We don't know if the submitter has other active accounts that aren't in their real name. If they are new to this site, can we be more welcoming? This is cool content and made the front page.

That would be yet another HN guidelines violation: "Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create accounts routinely." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html > If they are new to this site, can we be more welcoming? Would you say the same to all spammers? > This is cool content and made the front page. There are a lot of cool paid products in the world. You're giving permission for everyone to just post their own "Buy" page here. That's not what HN is for. I'm a software developer myself, and while I have submitted some of my technical blog posts, I've never just submitted my product marketing pages. And as I said in another comment, this shouldn't even be a "Show HN" post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36959608 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36959608
- 8organicbits 3y agoEvery spammer is not N=1. The user could submit their marketing page repeatedly. They could submit it from multiple accounts. That hasn't happened here, there's no need for outrage. https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=localcan.com https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=localcan.com
