If you keep spamming thesurge.net links for articles that are low-quality rewrites from previous websites (in this case, http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/12/goldman-sachs-bitcoin-is-no...), then you're just going to get the domain banned, as was the case with your previous account (https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=TheSurge)

They aren't exactly low quality and nearly all tech news websites report from the same sources. Additionally we do have original content as well, but thanks for the tip..

The article linked at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7375860 is a low quality, analysis free of http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/09/console-crisis/ which contains the same flaws present in the original. Atleast you could have linked to the TechCrunch article.

The "same source" argument doesn't work here, since TechCrunch used non-recent data and the probability of you coincidentally using the same data for your own independent post is low.

Thanks for the feedback. We later corrected our position, and actually disproved the article above after some readers pointed out that the numbers didn't match up in emails to us (http://thesurge.net/contrary-to-our-recent-post-it-appears-c...)

In addition, I've personally updated the article that I wrote on bitcoin to include some analysis of what it could mean at the end of the news report. I appreciate feedback and constructive criticism.

I'm saddened to hear that my account has been banned from posting new articles, though.

I apologize. The article about bitcoin has been updated as the author posted to include some analysis.

I also shared a new link yesterday about the one above where The Surge corrected it's stance as well as disproved TechCrunch's article, you should check it out.
