Hey Staff,
I think you need to check in on your moderators a little more closely. I just had a hub unpublished and the stated reasons make absolutely no sense.
It was unpublished for "Substandard"?
Substandard can mean::
* An empty or short Hub
* Poor spelling or grammar that interferes with the readability/credibility of the Hub
* A Hub with awkward or difficult-to-read formatting
* A Hub with a full-width link, news, comment, rss, or product capsule as the first capsule of the Hub
* A Hub with broken links or missing videos
NONE of the above has any relation to the hub that was unpublished. The hub cannot be short, considering it has 1200+ words. Poor spelling or grammar? Not!
Awkward or difficult to read formatting? Maybe to a child in the fourth or fifth grade.
The rest doesn't apply either.
Please check out this apparent problem- Catherine Zeta Jones is the Celebrity Hub unpublished. Thank you for your time.
I think I've read that hub...at least I know I've read a majority of your sexy celebrity hubs and they're always fabulous!

Thank you Hippi, much appreciated.
Thank you Sunforged for the link.
OMG...now this is very, very picky. The "ONLY" mistake I could find was one word needed to fix an error in a sentence.
First sentence...Collection consists many beautiful women might be better as Collection consists of many beautiful women
The rest of the Hub was very well written and presented. If hubs are getting unpublished because of ONE small word missing...then HubPages might as well shut down entirely!!!
I have flagged hubs with words missing and horrible grammar that are STILL published!!!
I really like that hub man see this is why even though I have a title ready to work on, I'm not real sure I want to do so.
Same here! Why publish when you have no clue if it will even be published or taken right back down for no good reasons.
Cagsil - It was moderated because there are a couple of paragraphs there in the beginning that have nothing to do with the topic of Catherine Zeta Jones. If you remove them, then I think you can resubmit.
So, Jason, you're telling me that I am not allowed to tell people why I put up the hub in the first place?
Okay, no problem. It looks like I'll trip them all. And, end up worse off. Good to know.
I suspect it's because you have to look at it from the perspective of a searcher. If they came looking for information about/pictures of CZJ and the title states that, but they start reading paragraphs that have nothing to do with her, they might assume it's a spun/garbage article without reading any further.

I'm new here at HUB and every one of my hubs has warnings and I've been told that I will be terminated soon because everything I post is substandard. I have read all the Terms. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong and since I'm "punished" and none of them can be viewed, I...

I have just found that a 3 day old hub has been moderated as substandard and I am having difficulty understanding what needs to be addressed.None (in my view) of the 'common reasons' for moderation seem to fit.I have read the FAQ and Maddies hub about the issue but none of this helps. Before I...

I have a few hubs that I wrote about 10 years ago when I first started writing on hubpages that are not very good. They are pretty thin on content and get little or no traffic now. Some of them have even been unpublished due to lack of traffic or for quality. I am not disputing that they are not...

Can someone please help me? I've seen some really sub quality hubs out here. I write well and yet my hubs are being unpublished and continuously picked on for sub quality. I'm offended. You're making it not fun to be a hubber. http://vivbounty.hubpages.com/hub/firew … -plus-help

Can moderators and administrators view hubs that have not yet been finished. One of my hubs that is in progress and not yet published, has already got a score of 70ish and had 19 views.
by Carmen Borthwick 15 years ago
Just so ya know, I tried to find an answer by searching and couldn't.When you start a new hub and save it as unpublished and receive the warning above, how long do you have to complete the hub and are there consequences that follow if you take too long. Thanks a bunch and if I missed the answer...
