Writing voting bots is a bannable offense on Hacker News. I'm super dismayed to see that you've been doing this for months.
Votes are supposed to represent individual thoughtful responses. If you undermine that, you're driving a spike into the heart of what makes HN any good. You're also encouraging an arms race, given that most users here can write such programs themselves. Just because we can, doesn't mean we should.
There is no requirement for posts in this thread to include salary ranges. That's up to the individual posters. It's easy to think of legit reasons why some may not want or be able to. Readers who want this info are free to use the contact info from the posts to just ask.
I'm not going to ban you for this because you've been a legit user otherwise, but please don't abuse HN like this again.
All: I've removed voting privileges from the accounts that used this bot. If you did and want your votes to count on HN again, feel free to email us at hn@ycombinator.com.
