Is gawker.com on the list of banned domains?
- jmharvey 14y agoI think so. I've had a deadspin story I submitted disappear, even though it was on-topic. (It was a story about satellite feeds glitching under certain conditions.)
- danso 14y agoNot all gawker-related domains are banned. There was a frontpage story from i09 a couple days ago: https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=io9.com&sortby=create_ts+desc https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=io... And Kotaku is still allowed as well: it was the top story (regarding LucasArts shutdown) a couple days ago: https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=kotaku.com&sortby=points+desc https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=ko...
- maxslaterrobins 14y agoYes, I just submitted one, logged out and it was gone. HN may be censoring the links based on the resent surge of Arrington posts, however. Who knows.
- LandoCalrissian 14y agoAt the very least, anything written by Adrian Chen probably should be.
- fromedome 14y agoBecause of facts?
- neya 14y agoYes, I can confirm this. I just tried submitting a link and it died.
- gus_massa 14y agoI submitted a gawker story two years ago: ""Alien Life" in this Meteorite was already published in 2004 and 2007" (gawker.com) http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2294142 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2294142 (761 days ago, 1 point, 0 comments) [dead] It was autodead. I still think that my story was interesting, at that there were a few threads about "new" "aliens" were "found" in meteorites. But whatever, I didn't want to start a war for this. It was quite technical and not about some internet celebrity. I suspect that gawker.com is banned.
