Today Adidas released news that they are going to use 3D printers for production. Since I thought this would be HN worthy (because I believe this is a production revolution) I posted a link to the article.

After logging off I noticed the post isn't visible. Does anyone know why this is blocked? Is the adidas.com domain blocked? I can't find any reason in the FAQ and guidelines.

Might be some kind of spam filter, doesn't appear that anyone else posted the same link.

I suppose: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14059219

I'm guessing, that all the submissions of http://www.adidas.com are autokilled. Probably to prevent spam, but I don't see a previous spam activity of that site.

Sometimes the article can be undead by the users using vouch. Anyway, write to the mods hn@yvombinator.com to get an official and faster answer. Many threads just disappear unnoticed.

About the article: It looks like a good idea, but it has few technical details. It links to a video with more details https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFtVF2DdSuM . They have many videos that are a mix of advertising with some technical details. Do you know which one is the most technical?

I'm sure this is it as well. Sneaker brands/sites are major bot spam topics, there's probably a filter for nike/adidas/etc.

You should write the mods about this (hn@ycombinator.com). They are your best source of answers and any remedies that might be available.
