Ask HN: Why are posts related to Obama being deleted from front page?
Just saw a bunch of posts related to election results appear and then suddenly disappear from the front page. Any idea why ?
- Mithrandir 14y agoProbably because it's considered "off-topic", and we don't need a bunch of reposts: http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- codelion 14y agoIs it still a repost if it is from a different website ? I remember when steve jobs died the front page was all covered with "reposts"
- argonaut 14y agoI don't think it's because of reposts. It's because HN is for tech news, not general news. The one Obama post that is up on the front page talks about Obama's technology agenda, in which case it is actually relevant.
