I see that all of your HN story submissions are marked [dead] as soon as you submit them. Do you know why that is happening to you? It started happening to me a couple of days ago without any explanation.

Hey , today it happened as I wrote title and and link but didn't click submit button, by the time it was dead. I clicked "back" in the browser and submitted again , it was dead for 3-4 times and 5th time it got posted. I think when you want to post new story you should not wait too long (>10 minutes) to click submit button or else it will be dead

I just looked at your submission history again and even the most recent one "Game industry of Finland" on slideshare is marked [dead].

Looking back through your history, the last 129 submissions are all [dead] it changed right between #129 and #130.

Your #130 was "Startup - Bill Watterson, a cartoonist's advice" which got 192 karma points, but starting with #129 "Brilliant Resource on Typography (practicaltypography.com)" posted one day later, everything is marked [dead].

But I recently posted a poll 3 days back which got 70 upvotes and it came on first page (top 10). Surprising is that I can't see [dead] alongside my post when i see my submission history

Yeah, that poll is the one anomaly. Go to your profile and set "showdead" to yes, I think that will let you see all [dead] posts and submissions.

I found out , problem is our submission rights have been taken , it might be due to reposting and deleting stories, or might be due to posting irrelevant material which is of no relevance to HN community .

Where do you find that? Is there some sort of recourse?

Send gentle mail to HN , they might give your submission rights back.

Thanks, but I think I will take it as a sign that I should just move on to some other site. The internet is a big place.
