  I don't know why you got downvoted, same thing happened to me.

    Perhaps if he didn't start his comment with "LOL" it wouldn't have been downvoted. That said, somebody on IRC mentioned that the website is blocked on Norwegian train's wifi so perhaps this problem is widespread. Any ideas where these blocking services get their black lists?

      At my location, it looks like this is the service: http://sitereview.bluecoat.com/sitereview.jsp?url=http://nim-lang.org/news.html http://sitereview.bluecoat.com/sitereview.jsp?url=http://nim...

        Thank you. I submitted a request to review it again. Might help if you do the same. Edit: They reclassified it, should be unblocked now.

      I'm curious, what's wrong with "LOL"? I thought that was the universally accepted way of expressing amusement on the Internet? Would "haha" have been more appropriate on HN or is expressing amusement generally frowned upon? I apologize for being ignorant of this matter. I'm not quite yet acquintated with proper self-censorship protocols necessary to communicate on this site. It seems rather strict but I honestly don't find that to be a problem as long as the cultural rules are well defined. As for the topic at hand: I beleive nim, nimrod, are key words that might be flagged for inappropriate content. They are similar to "nimph", "nimphomaniac", etc.
