Since it's a community run submission, it's completely irrelevant which account actually posts the submission.

Since it's a community run submission, it's completely irrelevant which account actually posts the submission.
- dang 12y agoIt's relevant for two important reasons: we don't want the content split across competing threads, and there needs to be a standard place for people to look for these posts. Currently that is (or was) https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring.
- diminoten 12y agoWhat you're saying doesn't seem to be the case, given the lack of confusion taking place here.
- johntyree 12y agoWhat lack of confusion? Did you miss the first thread that some people posted in and which fizzled out?
- diminoten 12y agoYes, and that's kind of my whole point. This post is right on par, comment wise, with the other ones. Clearly not much confusion took place. Dang says there "needs to be a standard place" -- but I think the success of this thread disagrees with that statement. Hardly a big deal, just pointing it out.
- maxerickson 12y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9473545 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9473545 We've moved all the posts from this thread to that one, except where the posters had already made a new one there themselves.
- diminoten 12y agoGood point. The more important thing dang said though was this: > We're probably going to finally automate all of this officially next month. Which is exactly what I was trying to get at anyway.
- bramgg 11y agoSo, do you guys just blindly downvote anyone that even moderately disagrees with dang or what?
