reddit temporarily banned phys.org in a move that was widely looked down on by the users and was eventually overturned because they (along with a few other news sites) were banned without notifying the community. Now, they were rightly banned for gaming reddit (in the same way some of them have gamed and been banned from HN), but that doesn't reduce the intrinsic quality of them as a news aggregator. phys.org is a news aggregation service, and in that they are immensely useful because they tend not to write from the position that more mainstream news sites do - that the reader is a complete moron.
