Ask HN: I submitted my startup(ShowHN)follow rules but it was flagged in seconds

2 points

4 years ago

Yesterday, I published my startup for the first time here with (Show HN) and before publishing, I read the rules related to it and checked several times that nothing was violated. In fact, the text pattern I wrote was quite similar to previous launches (Dropbox, WebFlow, etc.).

If someone does not like a startup, why should he flag it? Instead of leaving a comment!

Or do I have to collect a certain number of points before publishing?

After more than ten years of following YC and the startup school and reading PG blogs about startups and stories about lunching in HN .... It was really disappointing.
