Thanks by the way, HN moderators, for expanding the short URL generated by the site to share. Now it didn't keep track of how many people visited the URL, and I missed the Announcer badge. May I ask why?

I didn't use an url shortener, stackexchange just gives me a short link when I click the share button. And if they're banned, how could I have posted this...


Because the purpose of linking something on HN should be to share it, not to personally gain from it.


If it's all about sharing, why do we attribute anything here? Might as well make the submission and all the comments anonymous here as well.

Reputation is mark of making _good_ contributions, and is something that every site has utility for, including HN.


I don't see links to sites with ads being removed, even when submitted by the author itself.
