Are certain topics off limits on HubPages?
Are certain topics off limits on HubPages? Not adult content or anything similar, but the voicing of political opinion in a certain manner, etc.?
Hello Paul:
Yes there are certain topics that the hubpages team will raise red flags on. And as you already have mentioned-topics that contain adult content etc... are usually a no-no. However you can find out more about this in the either the hubpages learning section on the site, or under the FAQ's section.In addition there are built-in filters when you are writing your hub, that will give you a warning letting you know exactly what may need to be changed within the hub, before it is finally published for everyone to read. Hope this bit of info. helped answer your question.

The FAQ and the Terms of Service both detail what is not allowed, but those only are helpful if you take the time to read them. And the automated filters are really helpful, but the "real secret" is to email the admin team and get clarification if you don't understand something BEFORE you hit the publish button. That way they can offer corrections or more information so that you don't have to see your Hub unpublished or jeopardize your account.

Well, I was coming to Welcome YOU to Hubpages! I'm sure Hubpages had a reason for pulling down your hubs and I'm sure that they told you why they pulled them down also.Why you would give up since you just started is beyond me. It shouldn't be too difficult to take care of the problem and get them...

I know this might seem like beating a dead horse, but...A lot of hubbers, even hubbers who have really written fab hubs and contribute a great deal of inspiration in the forums have been copying answers from other answer sites and using them as their own in the answer section in HubPages.I can...

Ok I am at my end! I seem to be having an issue with HP. Everytime I flag something I end up getting flagged. Yesterday I published my 2nd part in a 3 part series on Jeffrey Dahmer. Ads were taken and I was fine with that considering he killed people, even though I see plenty of serial killer hubs...

Usually titled 'Welcome to Hubpages' or similar, there's a video at the top of each and every article. May I turn it off? If so, how? I searched in the FAQ for this question and was surprised not to see it. Since the video has no connection to topics, why is it even there?
