nautil.us is clearly spamming HN (quite effectively I might add over the last few days), I guess we can expect HN to get even worse now.

nautil.us is clearly spamming HN (quite effectively I might add over the last few days), I guess we can expect HN to get even worse now.
- dang 12y agoOne account has been submitting exclusively from this site. Accounts that do that eventually lose submission privileges. In general, though, Nautil.us produces good articles and most of the submissions have been from users with solid histories. We'd be lucky if the median story quality on HN were as high as the current post.
- sixQuarks 12y agoyeah, I agree. I don't consider it spam if the articles are of such high quality.
- michaelochurch 12y agoWhile you're here, can you negate all the ridiculous negs against my account ("rankban", slowban, problems submitting articles) that have accrued over the years? You've had less-than-competent predecessors, I'm afraid. Thanks!
- Helianthus 12y agoWhy should he? You clearly haven't repented of your impudence, and the authoritarian culture here only responds to criticism of a proper (read: flattering) tone. I suppose it's kind of you to give dang the benefit of the doubt, but would he really be here if he weren't selected to follow in the path of those predecessors?
- angersock 12y agoYou'll generally have better luck through email... ...generally.
- deciplex 12y agoSlowban? Is this why HN takes several seconds to load if I'm logged in, yet if I'm logged out it is pretty much instantaneous? Honestly, I can't keep up. There are so many passive-aggressive ways the operators of this site have to fuck with users, that at this point if there is some hiccup with the site, I assign equal probability to some site issue, or I've made another fucking list I've never heard of, for reasons I'll never know, or it's actually nothing at all. Is it confirmation bias? Did I piss off someone 'important'? Who knows?
