There is no edit, but you can delete and repost! Just go to your sent mailbox and find the email, click on the mail you sent us, and hit reply. Then type "$DELETEME" as the first text in the body.
You can now send to tech.unlisted@hackerspring.com and it will not show in the public popular/new/category view. However, it will still show in the view of all posts from your e-mail address.
If you want it not to show up in your user view and only with a link, you can send to tech.linkonly@hackerspring.com.
Wrong. It's a repost of a flagged submission that was flagged due to the nature of its name and reposted. The real hacker community loved the podesta pizza name. HN not so much so I renamed it to Hacker Spring!
Can you please not post in the flamewar style to HN? We're trying for something different than that here, and we need you to get on board with the intended spirit of the site in order for that to work: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
We don't look at this as a moral issue, by the way. It's just necessary if HN is to achieve its original purpose, which is to remain interesting as it grows. The alternative is to burn to a crisp, and we'd prefer not to:
The real hacker community doesn't exclusively hang out on 8chan (and wherever people wound up from there), you know. Honestly, in Europe, it's largely a bunch of antifa types.
This site isn't an anonymous posting forum. If you want to be anonymous you can use an anonymous e-mail account, but for everyone else it's to speak with your name and your voice.
What you're looking for is a different service with different goals, and that doesn't make this one worse at what it is trying to do.
No need to get defensive. You have basically created a spam attractor for non-technical users by saying that this is suitable for “Grandpa and Grandma” and making them a lot more vulnerable to email scams.
Writing in one’s voice doesn’t need to have an email address attached with it. I can understand using the person’s name. You could do better by not displaying the email address or obfuscating it. Or you could remove that “Grandpa and Grandma” part from your description and say that it’s for those who understand how email addresses in public can get misused.
This isn't defensive. I'm simply stating that anonymous posting is different from named posting. That said, I will be adding a way to do anonymous posting and unlisted posting today. :-)
Named posting doesn’t need to expose one’s email address. You could just use the name. That was my point. There is no need to expose anyone’s email address to the world, be they technically knowledgeable people or otherwise.
I still believe your site is harmful to users unless the default is publishing with just the name and no email address, with an option of publishing with the email address if someone really wants to. The current defaults seem inverted.
I’ll stop with this comment since I’ve said enough.
Unlisted posting is complete. If you send to topic.unlisted@hackerspring.com (or anytopic.unlisted@hackerspring.com) the post will not show up in new/popular/categories. However, it will still show up in your user view.
If you want it to be visible with a link only and not even show on your user page, you can send to anytopic.linkonly@hackerpsring.com.
