General Query
Hi Everyone,
I hope this message finds you well. I recently joined and am encountering an issue with commenting on ASK posts. I'm unsure if it's related to my low karma, as I only joined yesterday, or if I might be missing a step. Could someone kindly guide me on the correct process or inform me if there are any specific requirements for commenting?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
- mtmail 3y agoSome new accounts need another user to 'vouch' first. I clicked that button now. Your first submission was "Looking for Entry Level Software Engineer Job in India". Job posts, including looking for a job, are not allowed. That's listed in the FAQ (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html). Next month you can add yourself (add a comment) to the "Who wants to be hired?" https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring list. Your second submission was "Show HN: What Is Open Source vs Free Software". Show is for something you've build (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html). Quoting a piece of text without source (who is being quoted) wasn't enough for anybody to upvote the submission.

Right now as well I am unable to comment in the ASK:HN who wants to be hired(December,2023)even after you vouch me, why so ?.
- gus_massa 3y agoYou posted in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38666225 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38666225 that is the wrong thread. Are you trying to repost that in the correct thread? Perhaps the system detects the duplication??? (I never hear that, but there are a few hidden features.) Try again, and if that fails, send an email to the mods hn@ycombinator.com

- gus_massa 3y agoYou posted in "Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2023)" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38490811 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38490811 that is for business that want to hire a person You should have posted in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38490809 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38490809 "Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (December 2023)" that is for persons that want to be hired by a business. I'm just looked at my calendar, and it's already 18th. I think the threads close automatically after some time (15 days?). So both may be closed. I think you should wait until January 2nd and post in the new thread.
- ojuschugh1 3y agoThanks for letting me know about this, I recently got confirmation that they are closed. Thanks to both you for the help :)
