Why hasn't sciencedaily.com or physorg been banned from HN yet? Anybody know?
Incidentally, I've flagged so many physorg submissions that the flag link has been disabled for my account.

I consider it a badge of honor to have restricted features but still have a working account. They care enough to limit us, but they don't want us completely gone.
I'm torn on the subject of sciencedaily. Without the linkbait-y headline, I doubt this paper would have any attention here. They should turn into a HN-like site with links to articles, then give each link a short (under 100 words) lay person description not just copy/pasted from the article (maybe even with linkbait conclusions). Sometimes you have to bend the truth (i.e. marketing) if you want people to get excited about your work.
Hey, that's a nice way of looking at it.. I lost my flag link during "bitcoin week" last summer.
