Ask HN: Why are *all* submissions from theregister.co.uk flagged?

• xen2xen1 8y ago
  The ranking system here makes sure big sites don't dominate, otherwise that's all we'd see.

  They're not. First few pages I see some dupes, but none flagged. El Reg doesn't seem to do well on HN thanks to the robust humour and headline style.

    They're not individually flagged, but automatically killed. I suspect because they were judged at some point as low-quality, if you want to know for sure contact the mods via e-mail.

    HN doesn’t have much tolerance for humor.

  It is a pity, as The Register is probably one of the best tech sites out there, mostly well written articles with good analysis. They have a decent BS detector, too.

  When you have one account submitting the majority of a site's content daily, it's not a good look.
