What are the odds that 3 separate, years-old accounts came out of the woodworks within the last hour to make their only comments of all time to support this post? 3/14 of the only comments as I make this... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30275812 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30280084 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30277488

They could have sent the link to friends, some of which did not have an account yet but wanted to comment?

Ha! Says the anon account with not even two pages of comments in 4 years Why not use your real identity if you're so confident your claim is good? That's pretty creepy and a bit disgusting to post that on someone's Show HN. Be a nicer human! Tho.. Yeah... Sadly it does say something about how much HN can still improve it's response to Shows that people get so suspicious if there's too many positive comments and not e…

Its "Show HN..."

> Can I ask people to upvote my submission?
> No. Users should vote for a story because they personally find it intellectually interesting, not because someone has content to promote. We penalize or ban submissions, accounts, and sites that break this rule, so please don't.
> Can I ask people to comment on my submission?
> No, for the same reason. It's also not in your interest: HN readers are sensitive to this and will detect it, flag it, and use unkind words like 'spam'.

My claim? My post said - what are the odds all of these old accounts appeared out of the blue to post their first comment here? If you are taking that question as a personal insult, I'm sorry you feel that way.
The problem with that post is it's unnecessarily mean and you don't actually have any data to back up that claim, it's just speculation and a nasty one at that. It degrades the tone of discussion on a Show HN which is inappropriate, and is not what is aimed for here. If you feel there's an issue then email the mods, as they can take a look at the real data. Don't make baseless and cruel speculation on someone showing their work. Got it?
If I could suggest one thing: ctrl-u and ctrl-d are pretty common shortcuts for page up and page down, they're even supported in Vim and less. It would make sense to add support for those in addition to the actual PageUp/PageDown keys.

It just degrades the discussion as seen here.
Also, pretty sure that Hacker News has automatic detection for fake comments so no need to do manual moderating I think.

But messaging the mods to investigate is the better strategy.
This is great! I use the JSONVue Chrome extension at work to display JSON files, and I can see the similarities.

I'm more of a ctrl-e/ctrl-y guy myself, so I didn't feel a need to implement these commands right away.
