Why was my news item removed or edited?

Site admin will deactivate news items that are not appropriate for the site. Deactivated items do not appear to the public.

Common reasons for editing or deactivation include:

* The news item appears to be spam or advertising
* The submitter is abusing news posting privileges (e.g. submitting too many of their own blog entries to the “Must Read” section)
* Site admin feels the post will be offensive to a number of visitors
* The news item is not particularly relevant to site visitors.

If you are unsure why your news item was deactivated, you can contact us. In cases of dispute between the poster and site admin, site admin’s decision is final.
