Unjustifiable Refusal to Publish - Why HubPages Has No Right to Edit

Updated on February 3, 2014

I was referred to HubPages and I really looked forward to writing here. I consider myself a fairly decent writer with more than acceptable grammar. I try to be certain that what I write goes into the appropriate category. I make sure there is no plagiarism and that the writings are mine. I don't spam images or promotional links. I only use my own images or images that I am allowed to use either with permission or as public domain. I make certain that the ads I select for my articles are related to the article in which they're placed and my articles always remain on topic. Even with all that, I have had the last three articles I have written refused by HubPages' alleged "Quality Assessment." Why do i say "alleged"? Because i don't think they would know quality if it reached off the screen and punched them in the nose. I don't expect this article to be published either. To make matters worse, they never inform you as to why your article was refused and when you try to contact them, they never respond. How can we, as writers, fix our articles if the "editor" just says, "It sucks" and doesn't bother to tell us why?

The articles I write are fairly in depth; some more than others. And they're about things that matter to me. I don't know if my articles are refused because they're truly poor or if it's just because the 'powers that be' have no clue regarding the topics about which i write. Either way, i find their method of dealing with it unacceptable. Below are re-postings of the articles that were refused.

I have no problem with my articles not being accepted. What I have a problem with is not knowing why. The "Learning Center" offered by HubPages is absolutely no help when you feel you've followed the guidelines. To those of you that like it here, I say excellent! It works for you. But their refusal to accept articles doesn't work for me. Therefore, i will be finding somewhere else to call "home." I just wish I wouldn't have given out so much of my information to them prior to this.
