It's so strange, now others can see my post as well. The title of the post is: 'Why it's difficult to utilize the elasticity of the public cloud?'. When I encountered the issue, I also sent an email to the moderator explaining the situation. I wonder if it has anything to do with their intervention. Does Hacker News have a content review process?
Your post is [flagged] and [dead]. Flagged means someone flagged it because they think it doesn't follow the HN news guidelines [0] and [dead] is basically a shadowban.
I only skimmed the article in your post but I can understand that someone would flag it as breaking this guideline thinking that the article is just to promote automq.
Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.
PS: There is also some kind of automod in place for new account so it might have been triggered, I dont have visibility or interest in how this works though.
Thanks for your kind action.I want to know is the post really dead? When I look at it in my personal account's submissions, I find that the post has not been marked as dead. My account has been set to showdead=yes. If it's really as you said, does this mean that I can't see the dead tag myself?"
The system is working as designed. All of your submitted links have been about the same company. You seem to be submitting them primarily to advertise this company, rather than out of any genuine intellectual curiosity. The one last week was flagged and killed, and likely your account was marked as spam.
When you submitted another link to the same company, it was automatically marked dead to hide it from the rest of the community. From your own account, it is not marked dead, but if you log out presumably it would show as dead. This particular one was vouched for by another user, and thus is no longer dead.
You seem genuine, but you also seem like you don't understand how HN works. You are abusing the system and acting like a spammer. While this might be a genuine misunderstanding on your part, other than asking polite questions your actions are indistinguishable from a bad actor. Stop submitting until you better understand the rules: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
The submitter is promoting their site, so this shouldn’t have been vouched for. I agree with nkurz's assessment that the system is working as designed.
Also, after it was vouched for, the submitter posted or requested comments from sockpuppet accounts – just like they’ve done in the past. The fake accounts and comments probably justify banning the domain.
And to wanshao: this isn’t the place to try to promote your stuff, let alone with fake comments. Read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html . The platform manipulation that worked for you the last time will not work again.
