A comment on Ask HN: My post just did 10 points in 30 minutes and was nuked. Why?. Parent comment

Should I resubmit it?

There's no technical content because it was me sharing a marketing strategy which worked for me (and besides, I'm not a dev). I don't want to come off as a spammer and resub something which already got nuked, but on the other hand, I find it mind boggling that it got nuked in the first place.

No! Don't re-submit the same content.

I'm not sure why your post was killed. Personally I'd prefer to read someone sharing the things they actually did in an HN post than read a LIST OF THINGS on an ad-filled blog page.

Perhaps gently consider re-writing the post. Include lots of technical details. Include figures. Maybe charts. I dunno.

Heh.

Thanks, I'm going to pass though :)

I find it strange this post was downvoted. I'd love some further clarification on what criteria people are applying exactly.
