you've removed my ability to post HN seem to have a lot of targeted moderation "features" these days. Years ago I seem to have lost my ability to flag articles, which as far as I can tell comes from flagging things that the mods don't think should be flagged. As for the original killed threads, I can't see what makes the Ask HN post different from a blog post with the same content that's been submitted. The guidelines say to not post what could have been emailed, but the poster was asking the HN community for advice and not asking the startup anything, so the post was not killed strictly per HN guidelines. My 2¢ is that moderation is damaging the community more than submissions and comments.
