Looks like this might be the cause:

  <html>
  <head>
  <title>Hacker News User Affinity Graph</title>
  <head>

  <body style='font-size: 89%; font-family: sans serif'>
  <div style='width: 450px;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto'>


  <h1>Hacker News User Affinity Graph</h1>

  <p>What users on <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/">Hacker
  News</a> have voting behaviors most similar to yours?

  <p>[dead]

  <p>You can fake votes on Hacker News if you know your     visitor's Hacker
  News username. An easy way to get it is to trick them into thinking
  they'll get a pretty graphic for providing it. I don't know if this
  issue will be fixed, but it's not a good idea to give out your Hacker
  News username to random websites until it is.
That probably set off some auto-blacklist based on the frequency of the upvotes you received.

Maybe ask dang to unblock you?
