Hi Sneak. You've been on Hacker News for well over a 1,000 days and seem to be a value added member of the community. I'm sure you already know this but image responses are not accepted here like they are on reddit. Not that there's anything wrong with reddit, I spend a lot of time there too and love the site but the two communities are different.
Please keep image responses on reddit and off Hacker News.
- officialjunk 13y agoi don't see anything in the guidelines about this: http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- MichaelApproved 13y agoYou're right. I thought there was something in there about how comments should add to the conversation but I don't see it there now. I must have been mistaken.
- sneak 13y agoI accept them, and the prominent HNer sitting at the table with me laughed at it and upvoted it. If pg or our other overlords have any issue with pun-based humor, they have yet to codify them in the rules. There is, however, a rule against complaining about HN turning into Reddit. The official HN guidelines read as follows: "If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. (It's a common semi-noob illusion.)" My per-comment average is nearly twice yours. Please pick on someone else. I'm sorry you don't like my comment. I thought it was grate.
- MichaelApproved 13y agoThanks for the followup. That's a good point about it not being in the guidelines while referring to reddit actually is. I was referring to something I thought was in the rules about comments adding to the conversation but I don't see it there now. I still don't think links fit the style of this site but in the future I'll probably just downvote and let the numbers speak for themselves.
