Here's a fun game: create an HN client that recreates the same UX problems that these anti-social "netiquette" guides attempted to address.
In other words-- in what specific way can you fuck up the UI of HN to cause users to become so timid and confused that they create posts asking if it's ok to post here.
Another fun one would be to screw up the UX for replying such that an average of 2% of each thread is filled with veterans telling neophytes not to create top posts but to instead reply underneath the comment they're responding to.
