Ask HN: Why is my post not visible when not logged in?
2 points by ioninja14 on Aug 3, 2018 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments
I recently posted a Show HN link, which I can see when going to my submissions page: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=ioninja14

However, when not logged in (i.e. viewing that page from an Incognito window), the post is not visible. I also couldn't find it on the newest Show HNs page shortly after posting. It would explain why the link has no upvotes or comments at all.

I'm just wondering why this is happening? Is it a bug, or has my post been deleted? Thanks for being patient and helping me with this issue.



It looks like it was autokilled, perhaps it's a false positive in the spam detector. Try sending an email to the mods [email protected]

The tanks looks very similar to some previous games, but the game mechanics is different. Did you write the game? Are you using some library for the graphics?


I can see it now (maybe someone vouched for it). If it was flagged and marked dead, you wouldn’t be able to see it while logged in unless you toggle “showdead” to true in your HN user preferences.

(I recommend toggling this. Often flagged comments are quite interesting.)
