Sorry, your account is too new to submit this site
Can anybody explain about this please?
- jcr 11y agoFirst of all, by asking your question here, it seems you missed the following in the HN site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html >"Please don't post on HN to ask or tell us something (e.g. to ask us questions about Y Combinator, or to ask or complain about moderation). If you want to say something to us, please send it to hn@ycombinator.com." To answer your question, some sites have a history poor quality articles (i.e. usually webspam regurgitation articles with a few rare exceptions of good articles mixed in), and some sites are regularly abused but also have worthwhile content (submitting off topic videos from youtube to drive up stats by spamming news aggregation sites like HN is a constant and infamous problem). To prevent abuse, new HN accounts are unable to submit URLs from the lightweight and problematic sites.
- brobinson 11y agoSounds like you're trying to submit a link which is from a domain which is either spammy, linkbaity, low quality, or otherwise overly submitted to this site. It's probably an anti-shilling mechanism built into HN.
