I think we have to start treating this as a MOT (major ongoing topic) and do something about all these follow-ups [1]. I've delayed making this call because of the core principle that we moderate HN less when YC or a YC startup is part of a story [2]. But less does not mean not at all. At some point we have to remember the other core principles of HN moderation too, such as that repetition is bad for curiosity [3].
I don't mean that these incidents aren't real—and obviously they are super important to the users who are personally affected. But from an HN point of view, the question is "is this story new/different enough to support a substantially different discussion", and here the answer is clearly no.
