Cache link as it source appears to be down: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:EeZYEWV...

Basically, guy got inexplicably banned from the site, and is having trouble getting back on.

Everyone from Reddit and HN tries to view that site and brings it down adding to his woes.

It sure would be nice if he actually said what his username was.

That's a bad summary. They ban you in a way that you don't realise you've been bannedd till you look for signs that you have.

My blog got banned from there too. I only posted links from my personal blog there and never participated in any other discussions, so that might be why.

But why the sneakiness? They could just be up-front about it.

Reddit does secret hellbans? That's awful! I'm glad I hang out on HN instead.

EDIT: Arc seems to have eaten my tags. Truly an inferior-lisp.

This is a one-year old story. What's the "news" angle?
