General idea is that you post the original source, not tracking URLs. I've not heard of items being killed before because of it, but I imagine someone might.
But killing the whole thing? Seems a little extreme, unless it was just a rule in the system. I was hoping perhaps it had been discussed before.
EDIT: Perhaps the person who down-voted me is also one of those who killed it. If so, an explanation or acknowledgement would be more useful to other readers and submitters than a simple down-vote. I'm still not sure whether it's a people thing or a system thing.
