I've had multiple comments detached (as you can see by my comment history) for calling out companies that suck to apply for in the monthly hiring threads. Either the people who posted must have complained so they removed it, or HN doesn't want people to know some companies suck to deal with when it comes to hiring process.

Would Reddit be more open to something like this as in could you create a subreddit and remind HN readers to check?

I see a few people seem interested in the idea of naming such companies. I have wasted a few weekends worth of my time (which at freelance rates is a decent amount of money) and have been ignored when I asked for feedback (sometimes just ignored completely). Its disrespectful and companies should be called out for it. I could name at least one one company that regularly posts in the hiring threads here.

I made a place that is not moderated by HN, where you can share your experiences of applying. It's called hirepwned.xyz and that's the domain name. Just wanted to let you know because you were passionate about this.

Don't let the HN censorship discourage you. Name them and shame them!

I'm still undecided about the best option for these situations, but I made this ( simple ) site as an experimental database of people's hiring experiences, and posted to HN. I'm letting you know because you cared about this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16895043

I will continue doing so in the monthly hiring thread when I have the time.
