- dang 5y agoThis story spent the entire day yesterday at #1 on HN. It got 4000 upvotes and 1300+ comments and was by far the most prominent thread of the day: https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2021-06-07 https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2021-06-07. That's the opposite of "banishing". We bent the rules considerably to allow this, for reasons I've explained at length here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27439301 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27439301 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27439412 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27439412 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27427198 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27427198 https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Adang%20moderate%20less%20%22not%20more%22%20yc&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... Not having the same story repeat itself two days in a row is standard HN moderation. p.s. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27433981 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27433981. If you could please stop creating accounts to break HN's rules with, we'd really appreciate it.
