When Hacker News gets rid of shadowbanning, and maybe the nitpicky editing of submission titles, and the numerous other features designed to annoy users for the sake of qualitative social engineering, then maybe we can talk about everyone just being nice and polite and treating one another like adults.

Until then, knowing whether or not a moderator exposing user information (regardless of what it is) to indimidate them is considered fair game by the staff would, at the very least, be nice, rule or no rule.

You literally have the word "greentext" in your user profile.

Go back to 4chan.

No.

But thanks for reminding me to update that link in my profile. You should try the greentexting userscript I wrote - I think you'd be surprised at how many HN users actually use > to prefix their quotes. It improves readability quite a bit.
