This one was shut down because of some accounts that were using vote manipulation and linking to the site. Kind of a higher priority, compared to the normal bans.

While a temporary ban could've been in order, I'm not sure why a permanent ban would be needed for this one. At the time of it's banning, the domain was -not- solely associated with the accounts in question, like awdnews was. In fact, it seems that legitimate users were linking to it both before the wave of spam and through two weeks after it, until it actually got shut down.

I've got no solutions for this myself. I'm just stating what had happened, for anyone else reading it.
