 ### Edit/Delete Time Limits
 
 After a post or comment is made, it can be edited by the author **within 2 hours**. A post/comment can be deleted by the author within those two hours, **but only if it has no replies**, in order to prevent discussion from being lost. In that case, the post/comment **cannot be deleted** (This can result in a fake `[deleted]` edit if a person wants to remove their comment in the limit but can't). Users can [upvote posts from any time](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28817791) as a "bookmarking" feature.

 ## Behaviors
 
 ### Implicit Downranking of Politics
 
 The Guidelines state that _most_ political discussion is _probably_ off-topic. However, the line between technology and politics is blurred, especially as of recently. Most tech related submissions with a hint of political partisanship will quickly be flagged to death by users (or die a slow death due to the inevitable flame war).

 ### Implicit Downranking of Topics Around Diversity and Inclusion
 
 Likewise, topics around diversity and inclusion in tech have gained lots of visibility over the past few years. However, despite these discussions not being off-topic, they tend to be flagged to death by users regardless. Unfortunately. (Moderators occasionally unkill such threads if they see it in time, although it rarely sticks).

 ### Paywalls
 
-Many news websites have started implementing a paywall for their content, which has caused conflict with Hacker News's "original source" rule. The `web` button next to submissions (that does a Google search for the given title) was partially intended to serve as a paywall workaround; however, recent changes to the paywall implementations have closed that loophole.
