> Can you point me to the rule?

Read the actual post at the top, please. Among other things, it says:

> Please only post if you personally are part of the hiring company

It also includes links for people, like you, who are looking to be hired.

Sorry, I didn't know that the user "whoishiring" was setting rules. Why wouldn't it be Dang setting the rules?

No wonder everything is turning cloudy.

If Dang is setting the rules as stated below by dang himself, why isn't it listed in the official rules? (sorry again HN doesn't allow me to reply).

I'm afraid dang is setting the rules. whoishiring is a bot - in fact the only one that's allowed on HN.

That account is a system account, not a random person. Likely controlled solely by dang himself.
