Unpublished Hub Has Views

    From San Francisco, so I guess that's HubPages, wondering why I unpublished it or doing some checking.
    It's a guide about cleaning the filter in a shower that I unpublished. I'm worried about litigation considering there are issues about turning off power and I suggest what tools to use and how to do so. I asked the manufacturers could they check the guide and see if there's anything in the content they would disapprove of, but they refused to comment. I wasn't however looking for an endorsement. They said:

    "Unfortunately, we would not be able provide anything in writing to approve your material, based on liability."

    and also:

    ".....since the products is electrical and whilst we’re aware that he has included a disclaimer that the electrical supply needs isolating and that the job should be completed by a competent person, we would like to politely decline to offer comment as the methods for isolation and the equipment likely to be available to someone who isn’t qualified are not likely to be in accordance to the relevant electrical regulations. "


    This raises the general question of our liability writing "How to" DIY guides.
    This guide was getting 40 views per day and is the only guideon the Net that explains the details, apart from the manufacturers installation guide which shows the inside of the appliance.

    My first thought was also that the views were probably HubPages staff checking it.

    That's something I've noticed a lot of times in my drafts. Another thing I've noticed is that when hubs are kept in draft mode for about 1-2 days, if they are completed, upon publishing, it's very rare that they stay on HubPages instead they are immediately moved to Discover.

    If left in draft mode for a while, I believe the QAP process begins. 3 days back, I was working on one of my articles on psychology, I finished writing my hub and saved it in draft mode at night, then published it the next day in the evening. Rather than HubPages, the hub was sent directly to discover.
    That's what I have experienced couple of times.
