Ask HN: Why the post is hidden from the public view
I recently submitted a "Show HN" post, but I can only view it while logged in. However, I haven't received any information about whether my post is being reviewed or the reason behind its current hidden status.
I'm curious to know why posts are hidden. Additionally, I would like to understand if this affects the post's position in the "new" section once it becomes visible to the public.
- activiation 3y agoI vouched for it, hopefully it will mark it as NOT dead
- _Microft 3y agoThere are numerous reasons why posts are not publicly shown. Email hn@ycombinator.com to ask about yours if you like. You can enable "showdead" in your profile settings to be shown these hidden posts and submissions.
- barqawiz 3y agothanks for the response, will check the showdead option
- pwg 3y agoYou did not provide a link to the post, so I can only guess that you may mean this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36195191 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36195191 In which case the reason is the "[dead]"at the start of the title. It has been "removed". I can only guess at a reason, but my guess would be that it looks like an advertisement.
