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.
Enforce things equally please.
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.
But we need you to follow the rules regardless.
I just went back and flagged this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40565668
I mean histrionic is a pretty accurate description of Musk's own persona. You get what you give.
I wrongly assumed you saw it. You are right it wasn’t flagged. This happens every single Musk thread. Very hard to miss.
I’ll once again diligently report and not take bait. I take you at your word.
I’m not an Elon defender at all but these tactics don’t belong on the site and it has to stop already. Enough.
Maybe it "has to stop" but that doesn't mean it will stop. People won't stop behaving like people. All we can do is moderate what we see, as I mentioned above. Fortunately the community sees a lot more than we do—so if users bring to our attention posts that need moderation, it extends our range.
