On: Reddit bans The Atlantic, Businessweek, others in major anti-spam move

Yay! I've gotten annoyed at seeing the links in HN to theatlantic.com and others, posted by people who only post dozens of links to a single domain, and who never respond to comments in the thread.

That was odd to me, because even people at The Atlantic know that doesn't work here. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2285156

Just for reference, here's Alex Madrigal's submission list: http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=alexismadrigal . Self-posts links to theatlantic every week or more.

http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=nbj914 posts links to "outsideonline.com"

http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=jnickhughes posts links (almost) only to soentrepreneurial.com.

I've seen others, but these were the easiest to find.

nhebb gives a great example of someone who has the same name as an Atlantic writer who appears to post only links to stories on the Atlantic written by them. (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4108929)
