Why am I getting a "stop spamming us" message?
Wondering why all of a sudden I am getting the "Stop Spamming Us" message for every second post I try to submit. I'm putting them up from UNTETHER.tv - not spam. Thanks in advance!<p>Rob

Because you are spamming - Please stop!
You have 401 submisions and as far as I can see, 400 of those (ie all but this one) are to your site untether.tv. 400 submissions to promote your site (and no other contributions - submissions or comments) is very clearly spamming.
Some more stats: 400 submissions for the same site, roughly on submission a day since your account was created, no submissions to anything else, only ONE comment ever, out of 400 submissions only 38 upvotes. Honestly, I think people should flag future untether.tv submissions unless the content happens to be really relevant and informative, because HN isn't really a marketting/promotional tool (promoting your stuff every once in a while is fine, but if you don't otherwise take part in the community and you post self promoting stuff every few days, thats definitely spam in my books).

Possibly because that is all you ever post...
