@dang will help

  @dang doesn't do anything, you should email hn@ycombinator.com
  - LeifCarrotson 3y ago
    To be clear, @dang does a lot! His moderation is a big part of why HN is such a useful forum. But you're right that the text '@dang' being posted in an HN comment does not result in the software sending a notification to him.
  - GaggiX 3y ago
    I have always seen people using @dang and honestly it has always worked, he even thanks me sometimes.
    - pvg 3y ago
      There are regular comments by him, every few days, asking people not to rely on @dang. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39662522 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39662522

      That's random. If you want better-than-random message delivery you need hn@ycombinator.com.

I submitted that one earlier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39691783 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39691783 This one got points slightly more quickly for whatever reason. Usually in these cases of duplicate submissions dang will merge the stories together. To the DeepMind team I would say that a snappy summary accompanied by a video at the very top of the page instead of a bunch of whitespace and a static image you have to scroll past would likely help the blog post be more viral, as this tweet demonstrates.

  - modeless 3y ago
    Generally I editorialize the title when I make submissions in the "new" queue if the actual title is very dry. If I had posted the actual title of the blog post it would be even farther behind the tweet version. I may update the title now that it's on the front page, unless dang does it first.
    - pvg 3y ago
      Right, except the guidelines ask you to not-do exactly that and you shouldn't.
      - modeless 3y ago
        The guidelines are not all hard and fast rules. Dang has explained in comment threads (that I don't have a link to right now) that editorializing titles is actually OK in some situations. Obviously the title should not be false or clickbait, which my title was not.
