I have been making the point lately that the stories that are killed -- either by autokill or by editors -- should be updated with a hint about why the kill happened. I don't want to help spammers figure out how to spam HN more. But I am convinced that it's possible to give people who are making legitimate attempts to post an idea about what they did wrong.
The way things are, the leadership of HN is creating a chilling, authoritarian atmosphere. I fear for the future of HN enough to keep making this point.
