That breaks the site guideline against insinuations of astroturfing, shillage, brigading, foreign infiltration, etc., without evidence. Please don't do that again.
We have that rule because internet users are overwhelmingly too lax about posting such claims, which are almost all based on imagination. That's poisonous for discourse here. Real astroturfing is a different story, of course, which is why the guidelines ask you to email us at hn@ycombinator.com if you think you might be seeing that. The point is that there needs to be some data or evidence—some shred of something objective—to go on. That rules out 99.9% of these cheap internet swipes.

Although I'm not sure the CCP's tentacles extend to crafting funky new fonts.
