We're getting complaints because most of the comments (and upvotes) in this thread are not organic—that is, they're by users who are trying to boost or promote your post rather than by users who simply ran across this and found it interesting. That's against HN's rules—it's in fact the only rule which is in both the site guidelines and the FAQ:

It would be good to call off your friends/fans/teammates because HN readers have a nose for such comments and consider them astroturfing or spam. The community is pretty adamant about only wanting organic discussion here, and voting rings are particularly not allowed.
