That one got killed automatically because the domain is banned. I think the domain was banned because someone once spammed us with links to it.
Another reason non-spam/troll stuff gets killed is because it's a dupe.

It's hard to find dupes when all you have is a link you want to post. For example earlier today:
http://www.google.com/search?q=http://www.positech.co.uk/tal...
returns nothing
even though the story is already posted:

Too often the names of the stories alone don't work. Or the name is misleading or otherwise bad.
Is there is a better way to see if a dupe already exists?
