I fully agree with your explanation Dan. In general I dislike the "air public grievances about $employer", because it's almost NEVER a level playing field: you can claim $anything, while your employer is usually legally restricted from replying for matters of privacy (which is good, by the way).
That said: maybe there should be a process for reporting disingenuous job ads? You removed the Meta one for example, and to be honest this complain does sound more than just "I had a negative experience" such as a bad interview, ghosting, or "I worked here and it was horrible".
It's not even formatted properly! IMHO this thread is objectively made worse by submissions like this.
The one I removed was not a Meta one but presumably someone trying to score referrals (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37741749). That was an easy call because it broke the rules at the top, which could hardly be clearer on this point.
Removing misleading job ads by companies themselves is a totally different question. You'd need an entire investigation team, or length community discussions, to figure these things out, and even then a lot of the cases would be just messy. It's fairer and cleaner to everybody to leave this for readers to make up their own minds.
I mean, if we had a magic wand and could make all misleading ads go away while preserving all true ones, of course we would; but then with such a wand, that wouldn't be near the top of the list of things to take care of.
I get that it's hard, but clearly at some it's crossing a line, or so it seems to me? I don't think you need a dedicated team of advanced sleuths for that.
Anyway, not the biggest thing in the world; and I understand wanting to avoid drama, since you're already a (woke|Nazi|SJW|fascist) mod (or so I've been told...)
