We ban accounts that do nationalistic flamewar on HN, so please stop doing that.

No, I'm not a communist agent.

Then stop posting political content.

If you post political content you're gonna get political discussions.


There are political discussions and political discussions. We want one kind and not another. The site rules don't cease to apply when a topic becomes political—they apply more: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

If you want a more in-depth explanation of how we approach the question of politics on HN, I've written about it many times: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu....

Some good threads to start with might be https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21607844 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22902490. Also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17014869, which shows how far back political discussion goes on HN, as well as the argument about politics on HN.

If you or anyone takes a look at those past explanations and has a question that isn't answered there, I'd like to know what it is. But please make sure you've familiarized yourself with the material first, because if it's something simple like "just ban politics" or "just allow everything", I've answered many times already why it won't work.
