Yeah, I know the title of this forum article is very short and it can mean a lot of different things to a vast audience like we have here on HP.
But, this is what I get when they reject a Hub of mine; twenty or thirty words in a sentence telling me to change my Hub because it is SPAMMY.
And, of course, I have so much spare time in my life that the hours of rereading my Hub over and over and finally just guessing at what that particular HP, mood-swinging, attitude flashing, idiot had in their mind, on that day, at that moment, really meant, is of no concern to HP.
Nope! Its their time that is the most important, not ours. You know, us, the writers who they make their money off of?
So, keep hiring more of these people to edit to different standards that you will not share with us, and have them drive us to newer levels of rage and insanity.
OK, I feel better now, so a suggestion for you;
Attach a list of ten (thats right, just ten) specific categories that your "overlords of writers" must check at least one of. What will this do for us? Well, it can give us an idea of what the Heck you are talking about specifically, in my Hub, that you consider SPAMMY!

The spammy content is primarily the unrelated promotional content you have for your book.
I would suggest removing that promotional content.
Your link to Amazon page on profile does not work. However, I did find your books. I can promote some of them on my websites where I am in control!!

I'm working on a hub that accesses certain government websites and other organizations. Each has a home page, and then branching pages with more specific information (Duh, I know, bear with me)...So, say I list the home page as a link. But then, on a subordinate page there are several...

I'm fairy new to Hub Pages, but one of the things I really enjoy is reading through the Hub Hopper - you never know what topic is going to pop out at you OR how good or bad the next article will be, ha! But some of the really good ones could be even better with some good writer-to-writer feedback....

Today I hopped a few hubs and as usual I flagged a lot of them for being overly promotional, for having two links to the same site. The breach of the rules was obvious. For example, in a hub on the subject of weight loss there were two links and each one went to (I am making this up)...

Someone recently stated that there are limits to how much you can link to your own hubs. Does anybody know the limitations?

Okay, to start with, the features in the capsules we have are already pretty awesome, and my hat is off to the programmers for coming up with all these utilities.There is one additional feature that would be on my wish list, and that would be the option to "drag and drop" photo and map...
