Hey, getting upvotes and comments from teammates or friends is not allowed on HN. It's considered manipulation and spamming here, and there's no surer way to turn the community against you!<p>We've banned the accounts that voted and commented here, as we do most accounts that behave promotionally like this. But if any of you don't want to be banned on HN, you're welcome to let us know at hn@ycombinator.com. We're always happy to unban anyone who gives us reason to believe that they'll follow the rules in the future.
