Ask HN: TTW paypal guy gets NZ citizenship: doesn't show up in HN
submit the link HN tells you it's been submitted but no link to it for votes or discussion. search for it and it doesn't show up. search HN for nzherald.co.nz and the most recent is 9 days ago (Rocket Lab launches a disco ball). looks like a duck and sounds like a duck.

- jgamman 9y agothank you.
- lovelearning 9y agoYes, I noticed this yesterday while I was visiting HN about the same time this link was put up. Took about half an hour to read, and by the time I came back to HN to read the comments, it had been downvoted or flagged off any of the first few pages despite getting some 30 odd upvotes. I have my doubts whether regular HN visitors at that time of day would so heavily flag something that read like an objective investigation based on government records, because so many other spam links tend to hover around for much longer at that time of day.
