Comment by AlexeyBelov

HN has issues with trolls, and trolls don't care about guidelines. Almost every time I read a comment that's clearly out of place it comes from a throwaway-like account registered like 4 months ago. And the comment history is full of such comments, so it's often not a one-off.

Despite this, HN doesn't do much about it, and creating new accounts and trolling for a couple of months is very, very easy.
