We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19786422 and marked it off-topic.

Could you please review the guidelines?

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19779093. It's no surprise that generic ideo-political flamebait (meant that way or not) gives us generic ideo-political flamewar.

Would you please not post generic political flamebait? If you keep breaking the guidelines we'll ban the account.

Thanks, we've noted that in the headline.

Please stop with the generic flamebait? You've been breaking the guidelines too much lately and eventually we do ban accounts.

Can we stop the jousting match here? If this were a website for teenage hobbyhorse enthusiasts I'm sure it would be old news. But it's interesting to people who haven't heard of it before. It's OK for others to like things that you don't. There will always be some of that on Hacker News and the most polite thing we can do is leave others to their enjoyment.

We've asked you countless times to stop posting unsubstantive, trollish, or flamebait comments, and since there's no sign of abatement we're about ready to ban the account. Could you please review the guidelines and stop?

We ban accounts that bully other users like this. Could you please review the guidelines?

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Since you keep breaking the guidelines after we've asked you to stop we've banned the account.

Yikes, let's please not engage in personal attacks like this here.

Thanks, we've updated the link from https://finance.yahoo.com/news/im-data-scientist-making-125k....

> Thanks for presenting the facts in a SLANTED manner so that I can straighten them for you.

Please leave this kind of stuff completely out of comments that you post here. It's not that kind of website.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

> Please don't impute astroturfing or shillage. That degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about it, email us and we'll look at the data.

Please don't comment like this.

Could you please review the guidelines and stop breaking them?

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Please stop posting unsubstantively.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

> Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

We don't see nearly everything—not even close. Please help us by flagging such inappropriate comments or emailing hn@ycombinator.com.

Please don't post any more troll comments. Generic unsubstantive nationalistic or ideological comments are troll comments, whether or not you intend them to be.

Since the WSJ is hard-paywalled, we've updated the link from https://www.wsj.com/articles/bitfinex-used-tether-reserves-t.... We're happy to update it again if someone can suggest a better source!

Could you please try to be less rude and also tell us something we can learn from?

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

We just asked yesterday that you stop the political battle. If you won't stop we'll ban the account, but we'd rather not, so please do stop?

> Please don't use Hacker News primarily for political or ideological battle. This destroys intellectual curiosity, and we ban accounts that do it.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

I can tell that this expression is heartfelt and well-meant and that you're making honest points, but when we post comments in combat style this is easily lost in the fog of war.

Could you please take this into account when posting in the future?

Thanks for tracking down the original source. We've updated the link from https://www.philly.com/news/nation-world/unidentified-flying....

That's an interesting observation, but not true!

As far as stories like this go, we do penalize minor release announcements across the board (unless there's something there that gratifies intellectual curiosity), but that's done manually.

You've mostly been posting unsubstantive or off-topic comments. Could you please review the guidelines? We ban accounts that won't use the site as intended.

It's not anywhere near gray, and 5 minutes is no amount of time to draw conclusions.

> Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

> Please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

You're still breaking the guidelines way too much by posting flamewar-style, so we've banned the account. If you'd like to start using the site as intended and be unbanned please email hn@ycombinator.com.
