It seems to be a combination of manual and automated moderation (mostly by dang but he has more help now), using the kind of over/under-engineered custom tools you'd expect from technophiles. I've wondered a lot about the kind of programming logic he and the others coded up that make HN as curious as it is, and I have half a mind to make a little forum (yet another HN clone, but not really) purely for the sake of trying to implement how I think their moderation probably works. If I went through with this, I'd have it solely be for Show HN style project sharing/discussion.

- 90s_dev 1y agoMatt's right, guys.
- 90s_dev 1y agoI'm pretty much decided on making the Show HN clone even if nobody uses it. Because I know it's a good idea and I believe in it: * For every N=round(10) years software experience, you can click submit N10 times. * You must* provide a link and year proving your earliest project or employoment. * Max 256 submissions per day for everyone total. Should be a fun experiment. Email me if you want an early invite.
- ted_dunning 1y agoHow do people with experience that predates the internet prove that?
- 90s_dev 1y agoThey'll find a way.
