Thanks for the civil response. I'll keep this brief, because we shouldn't keep this up anyway. no one is allowed to submit job ads as stories to HN --> Alright, a general rule. That includes YC startups --> The general rule applies to YC companies too. That's fair. since the job ads we let them post are not stories --> .. But the only reason it applies is because YC job ads circumvent the submission mechanism that can't be used for submitting job ads. Of course you want only YC companies' job ads on the front page, and that's fine. It's your forum. I have a problem with the wording because it's basically all about pretending that YC companies don't get any special treatment, based on the fact that they're not actually breaking the rules that apply to all companies. But the only reason they're not breaking the rules, is that they get to circumvent them. That's special treatment right there. Pfft. This took way longer than it should have. I'll just move on now.
