I had a hub pulled. There was a list of reasons why it could have been, but no real reason...
why....
My question is, is it not okay to state the truth regarding people in order to save others from their terror? Keep in mind I backed by claim with over seven years of evidence.
You did not mention the reasons given. However, common reasons could be:
1. If text in your hub resembles to text on the web, there are possibilities that matter has been copied from the web or someone copied your hub and published somewhere else. It will show content copied even if this content has been published by you.
2. If objectionable keywords are found in the content, it is considered objectionable to advertisers. Hence, objectionable keywords detected by automatic filters or manually moderation makes it possible for pulling.
3. Brief text (less than 1oo words) also disqualifies any hub for publication.
4. More than two links pointing to same site (barring educational & few other categories of sites) is considered as promotional and a hub may be pulled.
There are several other conditions that can be read from HP help.
If you were referring to a particular people, or nationality, or race, or followers of certain religions and you used words that suggested that they were all terrorists, or thieves, or murderers, etc, you are stereotyping and the hub will be pulled. It's a pity that the moderators don't pull the many sexist hubs on here as well.
You are being ambiguous with your question, suggesting that you know the reason but will not share it thus expecting us to side with you blindly. With me, "not a chance" I will not blindly defend you.
I've had the exact same experience. I'd simply repackage your material in a more clever way; don't let a content nazi bring you down; just do it over, or spread it out with other hubs, a little at a time; if possible.
HP is silly like that, you have to be 18 to use the site then they censor you like you're a child.

I already posted a question about this. Sorry, I'm posting another one because I haven't heard back from HP staff yet (I know they're busy). My latest hub is about armpit waxing and it almost never shows any ads. I can't really figure out why. This is the first hub I wrote after doing some keyword...

I found a good article in some of the reasons some sites have gone down in the search.1. Too many ads on the pages. Google has been pushing me to put more adsense ads on my website. Strange.We do have a lot of ads on our hubs.2. Authority on certain subjects such as medicine. Then why is eHow rated...

What is considered a good hub score? How do I improve my hub score?

I just saw two new editing notices on my dashboard but when I went to the hubs it looks more like they've been affected by some kind of bug rather than an edit. The comments have been turned into bullet point lists and it looks terrible.https://soapboxie.com/social-issues/why …...

My Hub,Best BB Guns For Boys And Girls Review, was recently flagged by Hubpages as needing revision. So it is not getting traffic anymore. I see that it is now considered out of the pale because it deals with "weapons". Yet other hubs deal with guns also. Why,...

And I cannot find anything wrong with it. The alert says It violates HubPages terms of use and that it does not conform to the HubPages community standards of quality. I was surprised to find this level of censorship here and with a hub that has been published for a long time.The hub is about how...
