Suggestion: add gizmodo to the HN banned domains list.

This seems sort of absurd -- I don't think HN should ban any domains. If people want to read something, it gets voted up. If they don't, it gets flagged or not upvoted. Why should the subset of users who care about this thread (I almost missed it) censor an entire domain for everyone else? If it really bothers you, write a Greasemonkey script to mask certain domains.

There is an extensive list of domains banned on HN. For the most part they're for different reasons though, but it's not like HN does not ban certain domains.

In fact, pg explicitly banned the blog of vaksel for naming someone (and that someone had in fact done something illegal). So if that was a reason for banning a domain then this should be too imo.

Yes, Can we do this till they apologise publically and withdrew all links to this story please?. Let's do something than just talking.

Can someone tell me why this is downvoted?.

because it's stupid?

geeks already know what gawker and gizmodo are about and just don't care.
