Tell HN: Read the FAQ before submitting
There's an FAQ, with submission guidelines:
http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
The list isn't long, it isn't hard to follow. Yet several recent submissions have managed to ignore even this short list of examples of what not to do.
For instance:
- politics
- titles with "10 great ways to do X", when "ways to do X" is enough
- titles that include the name of the source web site (redundant)
- not using the original source (submitting a duplicate URL automatically forwards you to the original post, so we shouldn't be able to see the same topic 4 times)
My mouse is worn out from all the "flag" clicking. :) Please, be kind to your community, and read the half-page of guidelines.
