The recommended mode of reaching HN's moderation team is by email at hn@ycombinator.com

Though I suspect periodic searches for recent mentions of dang's username in comments are also employed. It's a matter of what's most efficient and convenient for the team, and what community practices have evolved.

I think dang might have something in place which alerts him when he is mentioned. Certainly he tends to show up quickly when people "page" him like this.

I used to have that, but it stopped working with the last re-Lisp of my moderation software. It's on my list to redo it.

Some of this stuff will eventually get open-sourced and/or integrated into HN for everybody.

It's a bit like saying Voldemort, somehow he always knows.

But opposite because dang is helpful and nice.

"@dang" is a no-op.

fhars helpfully changed the title.
