It looks like you post an awful lot of stuff from your own site, maybe that triggers something.
I dont post that often, and i've had other submissions go straight through only just last week.

That seems to have been a long time ago, and the same can't be said of me. I've triggered it now twice by submitting direct links to YouTube. Not conclusive, but it's a start.
I know there is a list of domains that are have been banned maybe youtube has now made the list.
Nope, I successfully posted a youtube video yesterday.
(Nobody upmodded it though, which is a shame, cuz it was totally awesome.)

Not according to your list of submissions you didn't.

#15maybe some bayesian learning algorithm disseminates the url you submitted and calculates a spam possibility based on the tokens (then the token 'youtube' might have a high bias for spam).
just a thought though, that I got after reading http://paulgraham.com/spam.html

Well shoot. I didn't get a "stop spamming" message.
For what it's worth, the video is called "The Kepler Orrery" and it's an animation showing all the multi-planet systems discovered by the Kepler mission so far, side by side, with the same length and time scale. It's pretty awesome.

As an experiment (and I wouldn't normally advocate this) try submitting it again, see if you get the message this time.
EDIT: Actually, having gone and found it, don't. It doesn't really contain any seinsible information that I can see - it just appears to be a lot of spinning circles, some music, and no real information about what you're actually looking at. It might be great, but it's impossible for me to see why.

#20This happens when you submit a link to a spam site. When it happens to innocent people it's usually because some site has been mistakenly classified as a spam site, e.g. by an admin fat-fingering something on an iPhone.
