What and who determines why a hub isn't published? I thought all hubs that were obscene, racist, or objectionable in some way would be published here.
Why would you think that?
I for one ,wouldnt want to read anything that was obscene,racist or objectionable so perhaps it is the content that is important for a writer and reader alike.
Let me ask you this question.
How many books for sale or selling well can be found in a bookstore ,are Obscene,Racist,or Objectionable? Not many ,if any.
Because of First Amendment rights, you will find many such writings that may be considered racist, obscene or objectionable to somebody in bookstores, even in the public library. It's also a matter of perception; what's racist, obscene or objectionable is relative.
The Internet doesn't technically exist solely within the US, so it's not subject to all of its laws. If the proprietors of a website don't want any objectionable content, they can ban it from appearing there. Plus, this site works closely with AdSense, who have their own set of standards.

If a hubber refers to women as "whores" in one of his hubs, is that grounds for flagging?He doesn't call women in general whores, just women who do pornography. Still, this is quite offensive and doesn't seem to be up to the quality standards that Hub Pages promotes.

I'm wondering if anyone knows the meaning of a word sounding like "dapus". My father used to use it in the context of being clumsy or perhaps left-handed? It could have been "dabis", but phonetically it sounded like da'pis. He would use it jokingly if I...

I would also like to know what determines my profile score. Does anyone know?I am always happy to see my profile score up in the 90's, but what determines it? What makes it go up or down?

I now have 11 hubs that are not indexed by google - nothing published since July 12 (the last one was published on the 9th and indexed yesterday). Normally I've seen then set up with 24 hours, occasionally in 48, but now it's 8 days and not done!!??

What determines the order or the numbering by which the hubs are displayed in 'My account' column?I see the order of the published hubs changes quite frequently. While I understand, the traffic determines the hub score, what about the order? It is not according to the dates by which they are...
