Slop filter.
Why not just remove the link in that case?
If you mean /news and not /newest, yes some sites can be overwhelmed for a time with HN traffic and sites that repeatedly end up on /news I've heard have been known to adjust 'referer'
automations make mistakes, humans can vouch
HN has a general rule of thumb that they do not delete content, exceptions of course
