In 2013 I made this funny website - http://starlogs.net/ [1] - posted it on r/programming, and it was an instant hit: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1c72lb/starwars_git_logs_starlogs/ [2] . Fast forward ten years, I decided to rewrite it completely to fix bugs, make it mobile-friendly, and make it easier for people to contribute, etc. Naturally, when I was done, I submitted a post to r/programming. To my bewilderment, it was banned after about half an hour. I couldn't really make sense of it, so I submitted it again a few days later. It fared better this time and got banned after four hours. I messaged the mods but received no reply. I skimmed through the r/programming rules, but nothing stood out.

Now, this isn't the work of my life by any stretch, but I am really really curious about what might be the cause. I am posting this in the hopes that some smart and/or better-informed folks can demystify this for me. And if it gains traction, maybe an actual mod might chime in too. Thanks!
