Ask HN: Is this a bug in HN?
5 points by kdsudac on April 19, 2013 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
A headline on HN caught my attention: "Python / Django hackers needed to fix healthcare (drchrono.com)" so I clicked on it and saw a semi-spammy cheesy recruiting pitch.

Went to comment on the post on HN, but there is no ability to flag or comment. Is this a bug?

As far as I have noticed so far, none of those job postings have comment or flag options.


No, it is a job posting from a YC company. See the https://news.ycombinator.com/jobs link at the top of HN under "jobs"


Job postings, especially from YC companies, aren't considered spam on HN.


More accurately: Job postings - except from YC companies or in the monthly "Who is Hiring" tread - are considered spam on HN.
