My parent comment linked to the relevant one (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html). It's also linked at the top of https://news.ycombinator.com/show.

The most important other links are https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html, both of which are linked in the footer of every HN page.

Yeah, sorry I wasn't super clear. I'm not a part of OP's company, nor any Y Combinator startup. I'm just an unimportant HN member and saw a target of opportunity to ask you about where some of these rules are defined.

Specifically I was wondering where the rules are for things like Tell HN, Ask HN, or Launch HN (which I think is reserved for Y Combinator companies right?).

However in reviewing the guidelines again which you've kindly pulled out of the footer for me, I'm now noticing I should explicitly not be asking you questions here and should instead be asking through the email address. My apologies.

Nah, you're an important HN member. No problem.

Re Launch HNs - yes, that's for YC startups - here's a link to the instructions I send founders, in case it's of interest: https://news.ycombinator.com/yli.html.

And while I'm at it, here's what we send them about HN job ads: https://news.ycombinator.com/jobguide.html.
