Comment on Ask HN: Why can't I comment on a link I just posted?parent

Comments

Hum! The link is from Sciencealert.com. Where did you see it was banned from HN ? Is there any reasons why ?

The article ends with "This article is republished from The Conversation". I'd guess it goes against "If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter." (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

Indeed, posting the original link works directly. I suspect that HN has blacklisted ScienceAlert as a reposting website.

Thanks for your help :) I posted it with the original link and will mention the reasons and details (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36290333)

Where did you see it was banned from HN ?

I looked at the submission history and saw that ~all of them were marked as [dead], that's usually a site-ban then. (you might need "showdead" enabled in your settings to see that)

Oh! Thanks for that!
