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.
