Ask HN: Do you agree with HN's shadow banning certain submissions?
3 by behnamoh | 5 comments on Hacker News.
I have experienced this a few times. Just recently, I submitted an interesting article as follows: https://ift.tt/n0q4dJt But HN automatically "dead"s the article, and there's no option to "discuss" it. The worst part? I can see the article on my end, but when logged out, HN doesn't even show the article on my profile. I think there are two problems here: 1) HN — much like many companies that are discussed here — doesn't tell me __why__ my submission was banned/dead immediately. 2) HN tries to not hurt my feelings by showing the dead article on my profile without tagging it as "dead" or "flagged", but it is actually quite disappointing to see this.
