Ask HN: is my domain blocked
someone recently tried to submit something from my domain to HN and it appears blank in the submission form: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1691132
Anyone have any idea what is going on?
- blasdel 16y agoYes, your domain is blacklisted. All stories with links to it will be [dead] on arrival.
- EGF 16y agodo you know how to get un-blacklisted or what happened on my domain to mark it as such?
- blasdel 16y agoA moderator (PG and some YC alumni) probably saw this post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1010590 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1010590 then deleted it and blacklisted your domain for blogspam.
- EGF 16y agoYikes. It definitely appears that way at first glance, but this is my own blog (I suffer from having a name domain vs. my own name) The issue is that this topic came up with a bunch of people who frequent hacker news and they told me it was a valid topic and encouraged me to write it up. It ended up generating good commentary both on my own site and on HN. Its a subjective call, and hopefully one that can be rectified once the situation is fully understood. I emailed PG but have not yet heard back.
