ValleyWag is probably auto-banned because it is generally low quality polemic stuff.

Valleywag articles are auto banned on HN because they are too waffly.

Maybe try turning it off, then, after that, turning it back on again.

Valleywag tends to be insta-flagged by the HN community.

Valleywag is a banned domain like youtube and a hundred others.

BuzzFeed, too.

I believe the entire Gawker network is blocked.
