That's strange... could someone confirm? I would be very disappointed if that was true and not widely known. On the other hand, I didn't have any problems with submitting that link: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3146239

Here is the list of banned sites: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=499044

"The great majority are banned for spamming and/or voting rings. Others (like url shortening services, squidoo, etc) are banned because they're often used by spammers. Others are banned for the reasons I listed in that recent essay: linkjacking, being offtopic, or characteristically being fluff."

Thanks, didn't know about that. 3 years old though, I'm assuming there's a more up-to-date list in operation.

FYI, that link is "silently banned".

The link appears fine in your session. Try the link from a new session / IP. You'll see it's dead.
