I appreciate you've been here since 2009 and are still contributing. Both of us moderators have been here a similar duration. If you want HN to be better, can you please do what others do, and use the flag feature (it alerts us to bad submissions/comments and will cause items to be killed when enough people do it), or if you have things to say, explain what you mean in your comments, or email us (hn@ycombinator.com)? Plenty of longtime users do this and it helps a lot.
