Hey, I wasn't aware that this was an issue. However, those comments were NOT "sockpuppet comments". All of us backers who've been ripped off have a Facebook group ( https://facebook.com/groups/469833006482519 https://facebook.com/groups/469833006482519 ) and those comments were from folks on there. You guys really should not just make assumptions like this and delete comments. That isn't fair. - Jonathan

- dang 12y agoI didn't mean that the commenters weren't real—sorry for the imprecision. We use the term "sockpuppet" rather loosely to include cases where people show up to comment only as part of a story they're trying to push. When a bunch of new accounts show up to do it at the same time, we ban them, because that's not a legit use of HN comments.
