Noobs keep asking for this feature almost daily now and pg kills the post every time, because you're not supposed to ask like this. Feature requests go in the feature requests page at the link in the bottom. Or just upvote the link by gauravgupta, it's on that page.

Not sure condescending references to 'noobs' is in the spirit of HN. There are other sites to go to if you want to talk like that.

Not really, it's just referencing new users, it's used in the site itself: http://news.ycombinator.com/noobstories and http://news.ycombinator.com/noobcomments

Not that I want to dive into 'yet another typical silly internet argument (TM)', but those seems to me to be tongue-in-cheek geek references whereas your comment carried the immature snark of 'lol you n00b' which I come to hn to avoid.

I'm afraid you're looking for something that just isn't there. Now this feature request is a good idea in my opinion, that's why I'm suggesting to upvote it on the Feature Requests page and not just make another post that will get killed and ignored.

I hadn't heard that word in a few months. Shocking.

I think it is a really bad way to gauge community interest on the feature requests page because very few will see it. Not much in the way of features gets added to HN so its only like to happen if pg and co decide it themselves or there is a heap of community interest.

there is an easy solution for pg and noobs.

implement the feature request and everybody is happy.
