Since it's a community run submission, it's completely irrelevant which account actually posts the submission.


It's relevant for two important reasons: we don't want the content split across competing threads, and there needs to be a standard place for people to look for these posts. Currently that is (or was) https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring.


What you're saying doesn't seem to be the case, given the lack of confusion taking place here.


What lack of confusion? Did you miss the first thread that some people posted in and which fizzled out?


Yes, and that's kind of my whole point. This post is right on par, comment wise, with the other ones. Clearly not much confusion took place.

Dang says there "needs to be a standard place" -- but I think the success of this thread disagrees with that statement.

Hardly a big deal, just pointing it out.


https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9473545

We've moved all the posts from this thread to that one, except where the posters had already made a new one there themselves.


Good point.

The more important thing dang said though was this:

> We're probably going to finally automate all of this officially next month.

Which is exactly what I was trying to get at anyway.


So, do you guys just blindly downvote anyone that even moderately disagrees with dang or what?
