FWIW, this very submission is technically against the HN guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html):
Please don't post on HN to ask or tell us something (e.g. to ask us questions about Y Combinator, or to ask or complain about moderation). If you want to say something to us, please send it to hn@ycombinator.com.
- baddox 12y agoFrom that same page: Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site.
- cmstoken 12y agoTechnically, your comment is also against the HN guidelines. And so is mine (the very one you're reading right now). I think none of us are adding anything to the discussion.
- baddox 12y agoWhile a comment is, strictly speaking, something submitted, the guidelines page seems to use "submission" to refer specifically to story submissions (note the headers "In Submissions" and "In Comments"). If my interpretation is correct, then my first comment, your reply, and this comment are not in violation, although yours is factually incorrect. :)
