You will notice that the reddit and digg links have been taken down. We have had little success on both of late. We get crushed on digg with "burials".

Reddit is a different matter. If you submit a link with theoildrum.com in it (Europe, Canada, or mothership), it does not show up on the "new" page or the "hot" page, no matter how many upmod votes it gets. This is rather strange. There are sites that submit ten links a day over there, and yet, we cannot submit any. I have emailed them looking for an explanation a few times with no response.

Therefore, I am appealing to the reader community to help us out with this "blacklisting." Chances are somebody knows someone on the inside of these organizations and can contact them (especially reddit). But you can also send them an email noting the problem and asking for a response.

These link farms are one of the few ways we can expose our rigorously-presented ideas to others--it keeps the site growing, and more people collectively thinking of action and answers. Any help you can provide is welcome. Thanks.
