Ask HN: My Show HN post won't show. Could it be?

My friend had posted the project here without asking me and then deleted the post.

Could it be the reason why my submission doesn't appear? Am I doomed from submitting it to Show HN now?

This is what I submitted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11800148. It was titled "Show HN: Goodbye Gun Stocks."

    For this kind of thing it's always a better idea to email hn. hn@ycombinator.com

    They don't get to see everything, and will probably miss this.

    And dang is always happy to fix things if there are problems, and to let you know what's happened.

    Another possible explanation is that the automatic spam filter detected some strange pattern, for example a lot of upvotes from just created accounts. Did you share the HN post in tweeter or something?

    It appears my account is ok, so I am guessing my domain has been blocked.
