As said below:

I attempted to post the raw Kotaku article but it did not appear at all. I know Gawker network links are auto-deaded, so I figured that was the case.

I did search through the archives to see if there were any recent kotaku.com submissions and couldn't find any.

Ah, my mistake, I didn't know that. I apologize for the attack then :)

This isn't subby's protest, it's pg's. You can take that up with him, though I agree that Kotaku isn't that bad.

I don't think Gawker was banned because of the articles. I think it was banned because tons of their articles were getting submitted whether they were relevant or not, spamming up the "new" page.

He probably felt he'd get a bad reaction. Link aggregators like Reddit and HN don't generally like Gawker articles. Due to some of their content being blogspam.
