You can't post like this to HN, regardless of how you feel about someone else's posts. Doing it repeatedly crosses into harassment, and you've done it more than 3 times now - e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48504823 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48504823 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48504654 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48504654 So please especially stop doing that. 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.

Those 2 comments are from a month ago, on the same day, and my point was he was spamming those threads with basically the same comment, and he links often to his site and his posts are all about his software. Both of my replies you link have positive counts (with sure had plenty of downvotes as he had positive upvotes), and even now after your link probably added more downvotes to mine. And other commenters in those threads agree with me. HN search shows 21 comments in the past month from simonw+pelican: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastMonth&page=0&prefix=true&query=simonw%20pelican&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastMonth&page=0&prefix=tr... You can choose to look the other way but 3 comments out of 21, where 2 were kind of the same one on the same day, and 27 days ago... But you say "repeatedly crosses into harassment" as if I'm a troll chasing him around. I was caring about the quality of this site with my 18 year old account... Unbelievable. But as you bless him, I give up. It's your site. Quite a bummer after I defended you many times over the years, though. I remember in the beginning your interventions were not generally welcome. Edit: His comment is now 12th in this thread and there are comments saying his pelican SVG test is pointless. At least there's some sanity with other users. Or are they harassing him, too? Sadly his other comment on Hy3 thread is still the top comment. And of course it also has a link to his site. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48848950 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48848950

  Why do you care so much about his posts? It's not a bad benchmark, it clearly isn't saturated, and allows models to be vibe-compared over time.

    He has a direct financial incentive to comment every post with his links. Other users doing the same get shadowbanned quite fast. It doesn't make sense that most of comments in his threads now are about saturation of the tests but we can't be saturated by the posts about the tests?

  I certainly appreciate your care for this site, and am grateful for your having defended me as you describe. That's all good! It just doesn't change the moderation point in this particular case.
