The link was probably nuked because of it's all caps headline, try resubmitting it now using a headline with less caps.

- EwanToo 15y agoThere's been lots of submissions with different headlines, it seems any submission to the URL gets killed immediately. I assume it's a spam filter in action (and it's actually doing it's own job of keeping 50 copies of the same story from appearing).
- Natsu 15y agoWhich is weird in and of itself. Normally, submitting the same thing would get the first copy upvoted. Just how were all those submissions bypassing that process? EDIT: Here's the first link to it. It's the only submission by someone who joined over a year ago who has no comments and the default 1 karma. And it has an editorialized headline. I bet it would only take one flag to kill something like that. Then everything else would be marked as a dupe of something dead....

- dspillett 15y agoTo verify that, rehost the story under a completely different TLD (adding links back to the original source and an explanation, of course, otherwise you might just look like any other blog-spam content farmer), and see if it gets accepted that way.
