Ask HN: Why is my submission dead?

8 pointsdbz12 comments

Hello everyone. I wasn't sure who to ask- but I just submitted an article and it was automatically killed. Can anyone tell me why? If it helps: My karma is a little over 100, my average is 1.6, and I am over 100 days old. I don't know those influence anything, but those are my "stats." Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm also curious about this process. I also had a submission killed yesterday, and I can't see an obvious reason.

I didn't flag your submission, but I wouldn't be surprised if others did. People prefer meaty links, and HN gets its share of substantiative Lisp evangelism without needing silly bits of it too.

Dude what did you submit?

I assume he submitted this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1067175

Which I guess linked to this:

http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/how-to...

It contains no interest for me personally, but I didn't flag it, and that doesn't answer the OP's question.

is the list of banned domains, it is not on there.

I checked another tutsplus submission:

and it too is dead.

So chances are it is on the banned domains list.

I think it is because tutsplus steals content:
