If you're looking for instances of "Please don't" you should enclose that in double quotes:

Thanks, that evaded me. The discontinuous {please, don't} seems to catch a bit more, though that wasn't my direct intention. It's just that if a mod's comment has both words, it's probably expressing the same thing.

Please don't post corrections or instructions in the "please don't" thread unless it's in the form of a please-don't.

Indeed, that's not the kind of discussion we want to foster here on HN.

Big thanks to you both Tom & Dan, this community has always felt friendly to me - even when someone was rude to me once someone else stepped in: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43980034
Hope we have many more years of this greatness.

Coincidental, but I haven't used that search engine in months (maybe over a year) until today, and now it's on the front page. Freaky!

It's pretty good. You appreciate it more when you try to use Reddit's!
