Ask HN: Why all my last HN submissions got deleted?

1 pointxmorse3 comments

I tried making 2 submissions in the last days for content I find interesting and spent quite a few time on and both of them got deleted.

I have already read the HN guidelines and those submissions should be alright.

Am i shadow banned or flagged in some way?

Those two were shadow banned indeed, I clicked 'vouch' now. I think the algorithm that looks for number of submissions vs number of comments triggered it (I'm not a moderator, those can be contacted via email in the link in the footer).

Thank you for that, the submissions got restored
