Would it be fair for YC to make decisions based off of the HN comment logs of YC applicants?

They explicitly do this.

not parent. I bet they do not, however I think you implicitly agree by providing it on the application. Maybe in the case of partners being on the fence, ect, but if not out of privacy probably strictly out of time and number restrictions. That said, they always speak about how incredible their internal software is YC and HN has solid management & spam reduction software. I wouldn't be surprised if they filter for some internal criteria in an automated fashion.
