When exports fail, Slack says data will be deleted unless you sign new contract
- dakkenet 3y agoSlack export fails, Slack team says the only way to not have data enter ‘deletion queue’ is to sign new contract
- dang 3y agoPlease don't post summary comments like this. There has been an uptick of them lately, and it's not a good trend for HN. The idea of HN threads is good, curious conversation, and that requires avoiding formulaic responses, even if they're well-intentioned.
- dakkenet 3y agoHN added this comment based on my submission. I simply filled out the form that was provided for making new submissions. Sounds like if users don’t want comments like this that HN should change their submission form.
- dredmorbius 3y agoWhat dang is saying is that you shouldn't post a summarizing comment with your submission. Yes, HN has the option of submitting a comment with and when you create a post, but that the use of that should be to provide your own commentary or context, not merely to re-hash the post itself. And yes, the additional text you provide with a text link does appear as a comment, that's intentional, see e.g.,: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29543426 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29543426> <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7897019 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7897019> <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18652492 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18652492> (Not HN staff or a mod, just a long-term member.)
- dang 3y agoTHat's true - if you submit both a link and text, HN's software will (usually) convert the text to a comment. I take your point that that wasn't exactly what you intended, and I'm sorry for misunderstanding.
- timnetworks 3y agoI abandoned slack the moment they dropped web-based client support. Deployed different client on my own infra, and never looked back. Nobody even noticed.
