Ask HN: Banned URL?

4 pointstrumped2 comments

When I submit this link [1], it says "Sorry, that story was previously submitted." but it doesn't take me to the previous submission like it usually does... and searching for it doesn't give any results.

Speaking as one with no inside knowledge ...

Sometimes a link can be submitted and then deleted, and sometimes it can be submitted and flagged dead. What you describe is consistent with both of those.

It could be something else.

Just mixing some guess too... It looks like it was autokilled https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17744642

@trumped: If you send an email to the mods hn@ycombinator.com , they can unkill it.
