There's a bellingcat article that's been submitted at least 15 times in the last 3 hours, going Dead each time. It's titled "US Soldiers Expose Nuclear Weapons Secrets Via Flashcard Apps"[0] and seems totally within HN's interest area. Also, other articles from the same site seem to have survived.<p>Is it a glitch? A new-ish ban? Keyword filtering to avoid getting on a list? Zealous users flagging the links?<p>[0] https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2021/05/28/us-soldiers-expose-nuclear-weapons-secrets-via-flashcard-apps/<p>ETA: someone vouched for the most recent posting at the time, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27317946 , but it's still strange how we got to 15 dead entries in 3 hours.
> Q: what are the authenticators on the Restricted Area Badge?<p>> A: VOLKEL is missing the first L<p>I find this funny, the badges have typos on purpose.<p>The funniest thing is that I googled "restricted area badge" to read more about what they are, and the second result on google is a link to these flash cards. Article says they were all removed, so not sure what this means.
Look at the submissions from that domain. A large amount are marked as [dead]. I would assume the filter is by domain name. I've seen similar activity with other domain names.<p>I'm not familiar with this site, so I can't guess as to why.<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=bellingcat.com" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=bellingcat.com</a>
what does that mean 'going dead'? like you even said, other articles from 'bellingcat' seem fine, so just wait for it to be upvoted if it's actually interesting
