Ask HN: How Is HN Moderated?
I noticed an increase in junk/spam posts. How is moderation carried out? Happy to assist if it is a manual thing. See among others (use search to find other submissions of this): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20643052 Wow! Carefully Very good. Its a challenging task for sure and I respect those who are carrying this out. There is an implication in my response and your reply that I have some agency in this. I have no more agency in this, than anyone else who presses "flag" But I do believe the underlying principle. Dang is very careful curating what we see. It's not slash-and-burn time.
