Shadow-banned domains will show up as [dead] to everyone except the submitter. One hint to the submitter is that there will not be a discuss link.
Submissions can be quickly de-ranked by flags and may fall off the front page before they are finally [flagged]. Flags count as heavy down-votes for a submission. Beyond that one would have to email Daniel dang to get more specific details. hn@ycombinator.com
- jjgreen 3y agoAll of the examples I've seen were not my submissions. In each case I searched the first 5-6 pages and nothing. The submissions on the "new" page remained untouched by prefixes for some time but were eventually marked [flagged]. My remarks on this some days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38122063 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38122063 I'll not be emailing Dang, the moderators are free to do as they please, it's their forum. A bit more transparency would be appreciated though.
