OK, how about that?

Thanks! That's too long (limit is 80 chars) but I came up with something that fits. Feel free to suggest something better.

We understand you feeling like it's more important to post polished writing than imperfect writing, as a non-native English speaker. But neither the HN audience nor the guidelines ( https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguide

If it’s bad writing it’s not a good fit for HN and should be flagged. Writing that’s obviously AI-assisted is bad writing. We’re fine with it being flagged and down-weighted off the front page. We routinely refrain from re-upping posts that

Intergenerational rage like this is not OK on HN, and dehumanizing language towards anyone is clearly against the guidelines. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

We've banned this account. This is an utterly appalling comment.

Quite the opposite. That user's comment was killed because it was classified as AI-generated. Of course it was a false positive due to the AI-generated text they quoted. These systems aren't foolproof. But we're very serious

Your comment was autokilled because our software classified it as AI-generated :) It was a false positive and another user has since vouched for it. For the record: we never delete anything, aside from very rare cases in which a user asks u

We've banned this account because near enough to every comment is unsubstantive fulmination.

Yeah. That was a day ago and it seems to be taking longer than expected to complete recovery, hence it's still a current story.

Stop this. We asked you not to fulminate on HN barely more than a week ago. Phrases like this are completely unacceptable here: How cheaply disingenuous of you Tell us you know nothing about healthcare without using "health" or

It's specifically against the guidelines to keep registering new accounts, and this is a good reason why. We have to have ways of determining credibility and authenticity, now more than ever, and a track record of good posting is one o

Badly-written articles are still unwelcome on HN, wether AI-assisted or not, and obvious LLM smell definitely lowers the quality of an article. But it's true, we don't ban every article with any evidence of AI-assistance.

We filter out most Show HNs now (i.e., most of the ones that are submitted or attempted to be submitted by fresh accounts), and we look out for ones that have substance and authentic writing. Others have commented that the standard has been
