You've been breaking the guidelines a whole lot. If you won't comment civilly and substantively we'll ban the account.

Could you please post civilly and substantively or not at all?

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

Please don't keep going; we'll ban the account and we'd rather not.

Could you please pause and review the guidelines? We're here for thoughtful, informative discussion, and another turn on the socialism-is-cancer not-so-merry-go-round is not that.

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

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

You've been breaking this guideline badly, and even creating extra accounts to break it harder. If you won't stop we'll ban the account.

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19646040 and marked it off-topic.

Sorry for the lack of explanation! If you were being literal and straightforward, then the thing to do is not to post off topic but flag the post (or email us to tell us that someone is posting algorithmically). If you meant it as a diss to the poster, then the rule is:

> Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say face-to-face. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

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

If it was somewhere in between those two then the rule still applies: we want civil and substantive discussion in which we can learn something.

Please stop.

I'm sure the intentions were good, but this is outside what the community considers polite behavior. The FAQ mentions this about voting: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.

If users aren't posting qua community members then the expectation is to provide a disclaimer.

Please don't post like this.

Thanks, we've updated the link from https://www.brecorder.com/2019/04/11/488194/scientists-put-h....

Thanks! Removed.

Updated. Thanks!

Please stop spamming the thread with this link. This doesn't meet the bar for substantive discussion here.

Personal attacks are not OK on this site. You've done this before; could you please review the guidelines and stop?

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

Come on, this is just silly. Can you please leave these ones unposted?

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.

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

Would you mind posting thoughtful and informative comments instead of snarky one-liners?

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

Done!

A discussion of the NYT article is over here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19571054.

It needs to be directly available without an email signup.

You're more than welcome to post here as a “Show HN”, but first it has to be available to the community to try out. Can you post again when that's possible?
