https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=8711146<p>Is this story off limits on HN (genuine question)? 
Or is it some kind of pro Uber voter ring?<p>Given the previous discussions on HN about what an Uber executive said about a journalist etc I find it difficult to believe that HN readership doesn&#x27;t care about this case, so I thought I&#x27;d ask. Fwiw this is on top of the news in every newspaper and TV Channel in India. TechCrunch reported it too (in a weaselly fashion, but still).<p>EDIT: I am fine with a mod judgement saying &quot;Such stories are irrelevant to HN. Flagged&quot;.<p>This was a genuine question. I am not an &quot;outrage warrior&quot; or anything (see my comment history), I just found the instakills odd from a &quot;something is funny here. I wonder if someone is gaming HN voting&quot; perspective, and thought I&#x27;d ask.<p>Edit2: I did send email to the  mods and didn&#x27;t get any reply (understandable, given it is Saturday night in the USA. I just don&#x27;t like nasty people gaming systems, which was a possibility here. Hence the post. Mods, feel free to remove if you think this is inappropriate)
