I didn't like it. I was "Blacklisted for abuse" for no reason. Unless you define adding a redundant comma by mistake as abuse. (؟)

Poe's law is in action here, so I am not sure if you're serious. In case you are, you were not blacklisted for abuse, but the service you were using (the JSON editor) was blacklisted for abuse by the service that was hosting it (rawgit.com)

You weren't blacklisted. The site owner was blacklisted because use like this is against the github TOS

I guess rawgit should change its strategy: they instruct people to not link to rawgit.com but to cdn.rawgit.com when you expect heavy traffic. The thing is that you have to read their instructions, which is probably not what you see when you receive a link to them. So you share that very same link, and if you share it on HN it crosses their threshold. Maybe they could use a redirect to their cdn URLs when such threshold is crossed, reverting it when some time is passed.

Beside, the redirect or a gentle message would be cheaper than serving evil.js and evil.css.

I recommend using the following link, which should agree with the github TOS: http://cdn.rawgit.com/jdorn/json-editor/master/examples/css_...
