Ask HN: Randomnly marking [dead]

3 points by bigstorm 16y ago

I just posted this link http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1833747 and it automatically turned [dead]. Not that I care too much but what would be the possible reason? ASP.NET posts not allowed?

Some sites are banned for a variety of reasons, whether because of consistently crappy/incendiary content, or spamming the submissions, or something else... I think there is some kind of automatic banning in place for certain sites (to protect against spam), perhaps it caught dotnetcurry for some reason.

  Crappy content! Too bad this is an automated system coz anyone visiting dotnetcurry would know it's a good .Net site. anyways so long dotnetcurry!

    You could always try emailing pg about it and politely asking whether it could be unblocked...
