Ask HN: Does HN automatically censor some new posts?
3 points by neltnerb on June 17, 2014 | hide | past | favorite | 5 comments
I just tried to submit a post for a kickstarter project, but when I log out the article disappears from the "New" page.

This is the item ID. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7902079 which I can see fine when I'm logged in, but it's blank when I log out.

Is there some unwritten policy disallowing links to kickstarter? People seem to be able to read my comments and reply to them fine, and I don't post often, so I'm not sure what is going on.

Post was to http://kck.st/1nh8gp4



Shorturls are almost always autokilled. Try submitting without the shorturl.


Awesome, that looks like it was the issue. Thanks so much!


The thing to know is that if something happens its up to you to find out, then figure out why. Just think of HN as actively hostile to all participation and you'll have the right mindset to get stuff done.


And this post shows up fine, whether I'm logged in or not. Is this domain based filtering?


yes, but by "Moderators".
