If you are a straight plagiarizer, it seems rather brazen to call attention to the flagging. Are you able to find an original for that one as well? I wasn't.
Green accounts submitting projects with no explanation, with the domain name of the project having been registered prior to the HN submission.
My best guess is that a foreign community wrote a guide on how to use HN for promotion, much like you would use Product Hunt or similar websites.
I say foreign because I actually spent a few hours a couple of days ago looking into this. I spend a lot of time in /new and couldn’t help but notice this pattern.
Many of the accounts doing this date back to a few years also, with blatant spam being their first submission for the last couple of years. It’s very obvious if you pay attention, but I am not sure it can be moderated outside of HN users themselves weeding it out.
I've held off on giving the perpetrator's full real name, but it seems like naming them in a standalone post is going to be necessary.
For now, if you see submissions from user-generated content/blog sites, be very skeptical - even if the is dated years ago. This person often back-dates their stolen posts.
