HN Who is hiring job posts over time
If they were, it would be trivial to get HN readers to click malicious links.

If HN readers can't be trained not to click malicious links, then no one can xD

I think it is not just readers of HN. Do search engines read urls (unlinked ones) to build their index? Cause then it will be very easy for spammers to post links & take advantage of HN's high rating.

I might be wrong here, but I think most search engines ignore links from websites with open submissions (like HN or reddit) exactly for that reason.
