up on the top banner, is a menu item [comments].

if you take a look there you will see what HN as a whole is talking about. you may get the flavour of HN and some idea what sort of comments, or submissions are valued here.

HINT submissions cant be downvoted, only flagged if they are in violation of rules. comments can be downvoted by those who have the downvote, so make submissions and find out what is good reading for the HN prolitariat.

Thanks for the hint. I was not aware of it.

keep in mind that submissions will also roll off the edge of the HNworld if they are going stale [unread].
