Ask HN: Why was my link dead on submission?

1 pointffk3 comments

I created https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5433393 and it was dead immediately when I submitted it. What triggered the dead tag so quickly? Are slashgear submissions banned?

dup post? There's been the same title posted recently (from a different site), that might be the reason: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5432157

Thanks, that definitely explains what it was. Article was different, same topic, same title.

Also, if there is a list of banned sites, is there a place to see what these list of sites are so we can avoid submitting them?
