"Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents."

Edit: I suppose I'd better add that this is not a defense of $THAT_GUY - just an attempted defense of HN comment quality.

Edit 2: Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait generally? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

For example, we ban accounts that post things like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48878096 and your account history unfortunately has quite a bit of this. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

It’s funny how you’re always policing me and not the thousands of other people that are posting much worse things. I’d be happy if there was a version where I can just see links, comments and add posts to favourites. That’s all I need really.

It always feels like the mods are against you, and it always feels like others are doing worse. These are fixtures of internet forum psychology and you are far from the only one who feels that way.

If you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. You can help by flagging it or emailing us at hn@ycombinator.com.

Still, other people breaking the site guidelines doesn't make it ok for you to also break them, and pointing the finger at others, as if you needn't correct your own behavior, is unhelpful.

If you've gotten multiple moderation responses, the likeliest reason is that you've broken the site guidelines multiple times. Btw, it's nothing personal—we don't know anything about you—and the answer to your "it's funny" is that it's simply random.

I'm sure it's true that other people have done the same or worse and not gotten the same replies, because that's how randomness works. We do our best within the quantity limits of what we're physically able to read and respond to.

Shades of:

> People just submitted it. I don't know why. They 'trust me'. Dumb f..ks.

there are 2.7 m starlink subscribers in US, I don't think they are fools.

Those are people without a better option.

Big difference vs xAI, where the sentiment is valid.

I'm with you, and surprised I got so many downvotes for speaking about this.

There is a German proverb, that goes roughly like this: "eating shit is good for you, billions of flys can't be wrong!"

that's like 1% of the US

we definitely have that level of mental deficiency in this country..
