    <b>Hacker News Guidelines</b>
    <br />
    <br />
    <b>What to Submit</b>
    <p>
      On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you
      had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one&#39;s intellectual curiosity.
    </p>
    <p>
      Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they&#39;re evidence of some interesting new
      phenomenon. Ideological or political battle or talking points. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal
      pictures. If they&#39;d cover it on TV news, it&#39;s probably off-topic.
    </p>
    <p>
      <b>In Submissions</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      Please don&#39;t do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or adding a
      parenthetical remark saying how great an article is. It&#39;s implicit in submitting something that you think
      it&#39;s important.
    </p>
    <p>If you submit a link to a video or pdf, please warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title.</p>
    <p>Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter.</p>
    <p>
      If the original title includes the name of the site, please take it out, because the site name will be displayed
      after the link.
    </p>
    <p>
      If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we&#39;d appreciate it if you&#39;d
      crop it. E.g. translate &quot;10 Ways To Do X&quot; to &quot;How To Do X,&quot; and &quot;14 Amazing Ys&quot; to
      &quot;Ys.&quot; Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. &quot;The 5 Platonic Solids.&quot;
    </p>
    <p>Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait.</p>
    <p>
      Please don&#39;t post on HN to ask or tell us something. Instead, please send it to hn@ycombinator.com. Similarly,
      please don&#39;t use HN posts to ask YC-funded companies questions that you could ask by emailing them.
    </p>
    <p>Please don&#39;t submit so many links at once that the new page is dominated by your submissions.</p>
    <p>
      <b>In Comments</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      Be civil. Don&#39;t say things you wouldn&#39;t say face-to-face. Don&#39;t be snarky. Comments should get more
      civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
    </p>
    <p>
      When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. &quot;That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not
      3&quot; can be shortened to &quot;1 + 1 is 2, not 3.&quot;
    </p>
    <p>
      Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that&#39;s easier
      to criticize.
    </p>
    <p>
      Eschew flamebait. Don&#39;t introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid
      unrelated controversies and generic tangents.
    </p>
    <p>
      Please don&#39;t insinuate that someone hasn&#39;t read an article. &quot;Did you even read the article? It
      mentions that&quot; can be shortened to &quot;The article mentions that.&quot;
    </p>
    <p>
      Please don&#39;t use uppercase for emphasis. If you want to emphasize a word or phrase, put *asterisks* around it
      and it will get italicized.
    </p>
    <p>Please don&#39;t accuse others of astroturfing or shillage. Email us instead and we&#39;ll look into it.</p>
    <p>
      Please don&#39;t complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. Don&#39;t
      feed egregious comments by replying;{' '}
      <Link prefetch href="/newsfaq#cflag">
        <a>flag</a>
      </Link>{' '}
      them instead. When you flag something, please don&#39;t also comment that you did.
    </p>
    <p>Please don&#39;t comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.</p>
    <p>
      Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don&#39;t create them routinely. On HN, users need
      an identity that others can relate to.
    </p>
    <p>
      We ban accounts that use Hacker News primarily for political or ideological battle, regardless of which politics
      they favor.
