Ask HN: Why would I see [dead] before my submission titles?
I joined about 2 months ago and I've only submitted a few stories so far (3 or 4) and on my last submission I see that there's [dead] before the title.
Any insight on what's happening?

- dangelov 13y agoI've actually read that document, but I guess I was confused because it was marked [dead] as soon as I submitted it, and it mentions nothing about automated spam prevention. Makes sense though :) Thanks.
