I find these items quite funny in light of the OP:
> Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.
> Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.
> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
> Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
> Please don't post on HN to ask or tell us something. Send it to hn@ycombinator.com.
