Ask HN: Uploaded a post and it was [dead] within a minute

4 points by _ananos_ 4mo ago ↗ HN

Just published a blog post -- when I am logged in I get the entry appearing in the <new> section, but when I log out, I don't see it at all -- I asked a colleague to check, and it seems it got flagged as [dead]. Can you help me understand what was wrong so that it doesn't happen again?

thanks!

That "autodead" is usually for sites which require login (and no workaround), heavily spammy sites or from new users. None of those seems to be the case, may be worth emailing the HN admins. I've vouched in the meantime.

Ok, I vouched too and now it's not [dead].
