alt Hacker NewsHow much would it help cut down if Show HN was prohibited for accounts that were green and/or only had 1 karma?
Meaning you would have to demonstrate that you had or were willing to contribute to the HN community before just promoting your own stuff.

Honestly I would support only allowing Show HN for accounts that can downvote. It's really not such a high threshold.

on problem here is that I don't want to share my ShowHN projects with my HN account because it'll connect my real identity to my pseudonymous HN identity.
so, in the past, i've created throwaway HN accounts for sharing things that connect to my real ID.
