N00bs?
- lkt 3y agoThey use "newf*gs" on 4chan, I assume that word is banned here so the above posters are censoring it.
- Pannoniae 3y agonewfags? if you see this comment, then it is not censored
- n6h6 3y agoOr the people who manually moderate HackerNews just haven't gotten to it yet.
- cultureswitch 3y agoI can read it, so it's not even (yet) shadowbanned.
- Pannoniae 3y agoI don't think it will get shadowbanned if it hasn't already got shadowbanned:P
- huytersd 3y agoIt’s been 14 hours so there definitely no auto filter. It’s kind of a testament to the moderating here that I’ve been on hacker news for 6+ years and never once have I tried to use a slur.
- aqfamnzc 3y agoThey have a different term over on 4chan...
- matheusmoreira 3y agoNewfriends.
- broodbucket 3y agoI haven't seen newposters anywhere before, it's always been newfriends as the slur replacement
