Another entry in the 'Black' villain line, along with BlackStone, BlackRock, BlackWater etc ... really makes you think the world is run by a thinly veiled cult

Another entry in the 'Black' villain line, along with BlackStone, BlackRock, BlackWater etc ... really makes you think the world is run by a thinly veiled cult of evil comic style villains.

    Religious flamewar comments are not allowed here, so please don't post any more of these. Beyond that: could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been breaking the site guidelines repeatedly. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

        The thread does have bad comments, but I didn't see the ones you're talking about and I just looked through most of it. If you want to supply specific links to the worst cases, I'll take another look. However, other people breaking the site guidelines doesn't make it ok for you to do so, and pointing the finger at others is a pretty poor way to respond. Edit: I took another look at your account's commenting history, and you've really been breaking the site guidelines badly and repeatedly. Normally we'd ban such an account, but I'm not going to do that right now. Please fix this, though, or we'll end up having to ban you in the future. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

  Religious flamewar will get you banned here. No more of this, please. You've broken the site guidelines many times and we've asked you repeatedly to stop. I don't want to ban you, so please fix this. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

      As I said elsewhere in this thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48522679 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48522679) it applies the same to any religion. We've banned many accounts over the years for flamewar against Judaism (since that seems to be the one you're asking about). I realize it's hard to see bad comments failing to get moderated and not feel like the moderators must have a secret agenda about the topic you feel strongly about. But the reason is simply that we don't see everything. We can't read even 10% of what gets posted to Hacker News, and we mostly don't read the threads in sequential order. In other words, if you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. You can help by flagging it or emailing us at hn@ycombinator.com. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=likeliest%20explanation%20by%3Adang&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

    As usual, terrible quality moderation. This post doesn’t cause flame wars and you missed like a dozen in this very thread that were posted before this comment.

      The comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48516613 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48516613) was obvious flamebait; this is not a borderline call. As for missing other cases of religious flamewar, you may be right, because (as I just explained at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48524299 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48524299) we miss most of what gets posted to HN. We rely on readers to bring the worst posts to our attention. But I'd need to see specific links to be able to say anything, and readers would also need to see specific links in order to make up their own minds about your assessment.
