@dang will help

  @dang doesn't do anything, you should email hn@ycombinator.com

    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.

    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.
