Uh... how did this thread get buried so quickly? Submitted an hour ago, 68 points and it's already fallen off the first page?

Anyways, here's a detailed response about the issue from the CEO:

How do you think it got buried so quickly? HN mods typically kill/bury threads that air out dirty laundry (legitimate or not) about YC companies.

That is not true. I'm surprised that you would repeat it.

I've definitely seen it happen, so saying that it isn't true is not very honest. For instance, I distinctly recall a post a year or so ago where someone complained about a YC company that had ripped them off, and PG replied saying he was killing the thread and quoting the penultimate paragraph of "In submissions" from posting guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

Maybe you don't enforce it as hardly as you used to, or maybe this thing I saw was a one off, or maybe that guy at the time had crossed a starker line; regardless, saying that it isn't true is misleading.
