It seems all social sites have blacklists -- Reddit certainly does. I've been told that HN blacklists Gawker simply because their content is so irresponsible. So that would be a case where, regardless of the content of a particular article, it wouldn't appear here. > ... it's just that this case has led me to wonder what could or should be done instead. Yes, understood. I can anticipate one possible alternative -- but to avoid a blacklist would require someone to vet each exception. Too expensive.
