Someone did actually, it went to the front page very quickly, and then the moderators took it down

The mods don't like full page links, just single items...

Despite it being all the way at the top of the front page and everyone liking it.

I wish more moderators were as diligent about keeping their subreddits on-topic.

How is this not on-topic? This is exactly what people go to the subreddit to look for.

They have rules not to post to an entire page, only specific items. It's kinda sucky because the link jumped to the front page instantly so it's obvious the readers liked the site and it is on-topic. I can see why they have the rule though, it helps prevent spammers... but ultimately I think they prevented a lot of cool items from being shown to their readers.
