- kintamanimatt 13y agoMods. Could be PG, could be someone PG has elected to be a mod. The mods don't make themselves known, as far as I've seen. From the FAQ: [0] > Who are the editors? > About 30 YC alumni. They can kill stories and edit the titles, and in extreme cases (e.g. spamming or deliberate trolling) ban users. Are the bans evaluated? Well, no, apparently not automatically. But they can be manually reviewed by sending a nice email to PG.
