My Hub Elin Nordegren Was Unpublished

   For adult content? Really? There is no nudity at all in that Hub. I respectfully request that the restriction be lifted. All the images were found on the web in spite of strict filters being imposed upon my search. There is nothing in that hub that anyone couldn't see on a magazine rack in the checkout line of a supermarket.

      it could be a number of things. odds are it might've been a mistake on their part.  i know i've had that problem too a few times.  like when i was trying to write a review for the film "kick-ass", they automatically anointed as adult content before it was published and completely written.  when i talked to the hubpages staff about it, they said it was because of the word "a**" that caused them appoint it that way.  however, once i reasoned with them, they were willing to let me publish it with that title.  same thing with "Vampires Suck" film review.  Originally, the adds were disabled before I was even finished writing it, even though there was nothing controversial about it.  hence, again i had to contact hubpages, and they corrected their mistake.  anyway, sorry for the long winded answer.  lol
      
      what im basically trying to say is, it might just be a mistake in the system like what happened to my hubs.  thus, you might just need to contact the hubpages staff directly and ask them to review your hub.  once they do, they can either republish it back for you or let you know what changes you need to make on it.  anyways, i hope that helps.

         Yes thanks. It's frustrating sometimes. I understand their need to control content, but they really need to be consistent and precise when they try to define what will be censored.

            i couldn't agree with you more.  i think if hubpages was a bit more consistent and concise, then it would be easier to know what EXACTLY is allowed and what isn't.  as i've seen some hubs that are way more controversial in terms of adult content than anything I've published, yet i've already had this problem with hubpages about three times now.  of course to be fair, the first time was my fault, as i was still learning about this site, at the time. However, this is still a fairly young site, i think so like all things, it's going to take time though before they get it more and more concise.  anyways, i hope they don't find anything wrong with your hub, and that it was just an honest mistake on their part so they can republish it for you.

      Hey leeberttea!
      
      ...Could it be that maybe your hub was about the "wrong sexual preference" according to the mods/other Staff????
      
      
      Check out a hub by Wanderlust titled "Best Cities for Gay and Lesbian Travel".     The last video on the page is........well....dare I say.....much more "pornographic" than your hub was.    It MUST be A-okay to see the butt cheeks of a gay man wearing a thong, AND to see women in brief bikinis gyrating on the sidelines of a gay parade!   Shucks!  THAT stuff is totally APPROPRIATE! Ya reckin???
      
      I didn't even look at the other videos there or elsewhere, but I think it would be safe to say there's more of that type of stuff around here.   
      
      But YOU, you're such a bad boy for posting pix of a beautiful woman!

         LOL! I'm getting used to the abuse here, it's okay as long as I know what to expect. It's funny because I posted that Hub from a computer where I am limited by strict filters for what I can search for and consequently anything remotely pornographic or inappropriate even is eliminated from my searches. Maybe it's as someone said here a mistake, but in any case, I know where the Hubpages people are coming from, they're all tolerant of others, as long as they share the same liberal views.

      I thought I was but their "rules" are very subjective and leave a lot up to interpretation. This is how they define "Adult Content"
      
      "This Hub contains nudity, lewd or provocative images (including strategically covered nudity, see-through or sheer clothing, and close-ups of breasts, butts, or crotches"
      
      So what is "strategically covered nudity"? One can say that clothes meet that definition. How about a bikini, is that "strategically covered nudity"?
      
      Like I said, my hub has sexy pics, yes, but there is no nudity and nothing overly revealing.
      
      And yes I know I should address the Moderator but I can never figure out how to contact them. Why don't they put their contact in their warning?

         Actually the reverse is true (discrimination as usual).  Hubpages policy is that all hubs on 'gay issues' should be non-commerical even if they have no skin showing at all, the same is not true for "heterosexual issues".

            People inside and outside of HubPages have commented on them (you can tell that if you look at the names of people who post comments).  So they are definitely accessible to the general public.

   Sarah Palin is starting her own web site for writers called
   SchlubPages.  SchlubPages will offer forums geared toward the wackiest of conspiracy theorists, Constitutional contortionists, racists, homophobes, and birthers.
   
   The only bannable offenses will be:
   
   1) Failure to bash Obama on a daily basis.
   
   2) Comments which are objective and respectfully submitted.
   
   3) And of course, posts which contain proper grammar and spelling.

That is precisely why come November all the lefties will be sent packing.

                              Come November Obama is going to have to learn to be bipartisan. He's going to have to include the republicans in crafting legislation or he won't get anything done (not that that would be a bad thing). This is why he will be a one term president. The left will rebel against him for selling out to the right over the next two years and the right can't wait to hit the eject button on him and fix the damage he's already done over the last two years.

Obama has bypassed the republicans with everything he's done and blamed them when he couldn't even get his own party on board with his agenda to destroy America He's history, a footnote depicting a wrong turn in American values and principles and a testament to an America that has left racism in it's past.

            Umm......a few examples of a gay person's "rights" being violated has led to a whole national and international gay movement.
            One, or a few, examples of people being harrassed or hurt or killed simply because they're gay has turned into a twisted "civil-rights" movement that now protects NOT the rights of a human being,  but protects their so-called "rights" to speak perversion in public and advocate in our schools for sodomy and other perverse practices to become "legal",  and buddy watch out if you speak against a person's "right" to flaunt their nasty sexual activities in public.
