I've found out that self-posting on hacker news gets you super deranked. If you really like the writing, please be the one that posts it here.



People are welcome to post their own stuff as long as it's part of a mix of unrelated/interesting submissions. What gets accounts "super deranked" is when they only post their own stuff or use HN primarily for promotion (this is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). Your account hasn't been doing that at all, so you're fine, and certainly welcome to post your articles if you want to.

Edit: I sent you repost invites for https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36211059 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35881175, both of which are great HN submissions. If you use them, the reposts will go in HN's second-chance pool, so they'll get a random placement on the front page. If you don't want to be bothered in this way, please say so and we won't do it again!
