And why are submissions marked as being dead by default? I find it hard to believe someone is marking it dead - even this question - within less than three seconds.
I'd rather prefer to be banned instead of wasting my time.
- stonemetal 15y agoIt is an anti-spam "feature", basically if a spammer can't tell he is being auto banned he won't try to get around the block. Not sure why you got picked up by the filter.
- mrpixel 15y agoright... now this submission is visible again. weird. maybe I need new glasses. :p check out http://xycombinator.com http://xycombinator.com though
- throwaway32 15y agothey are marked dead on a post by post basis, unless (i believe) the account has a history of only posting spam links. In this case, your link is a duplicate of an earlier/more popular post. So it got auto-deaded
- mrpixel 15y agoUh? Is that new? Whenever I posted something already there I got diverted to it. And I believe the older submission got an extra point. That was cool. Maybe it's different when the older post was marked as being dead? But I hope there isn't such a lack of humour on HN.
