I concur. I'm a top-10 reddit poster and Hacker News is my first site of the day now. Keep up the good work and don't be afraid to ban the idiots. Now if only somebody would set up a "Political News" site using the same code base...

Fantastic and concise. Out of curiosity, is there a link to that anywhere on the News.YC website? Perhaps I'm blind, but I don't see one anywhere. I looked for a page like that when I joined and, after not finding one, just jumped into the fray. It's a great resource for newbies like myself. Perhaps it deserves more prominent billing?

It's in the footer on the list pages under "guidelines". footers don't appear for comment pages, for some reason. It's even more important that they're there in comment pages, I imagine.
And adding the Guidelines link to the comments page in some way might well be a helpful addition. At least there IS a link to it, though.

Thanks

All users are held to the same standards, whether they're on the leaderboard or not. Eventually the other users will get tired of you filling up the comment threads with your private beefs, and you'll stop.
It's not a matter of different standards, it's a matter of: if you can't lead active yc users, why would you be able to lead an influx of new reddit (or techcrunch or whatever) users? rms for example is apologetic and offered to do what you wanted. a new user from reddit probably wouldn't do that. but despite this, you still lead in a way that alienates rms. in my case, i haven't apologized or offered to change my be…
Your reply: "in my case, i haven't apologized or offered to change my behavior because you never notified me of doing something wrong or asked me to change any behavior. that's bad leadership too. if you want me to follow some rules you have to tell me."
I think you should read more carefully, if that's not a notification of doing something wrong or asking you to change behavior I don't know what is.
Pretty ironic for you to say it's bad leadership for him not to do what he in fact just did...
