How to get your article accepted. From a moderator's point of view.

As a moderator, I'm looking for articles with good formatting.
If your article was rejected, first check and fix its formatting.
Learn how to use HTML Formatting, and it will give your article a higher chance of it being accepted.

Secondly, ensure that your article has GOOD QUALITY PICTURES.
An article with minimal to no pictures, small, or blurry pictures is less likely to be accepted.

Here is a list of reasons as to why your article might be rejected.

• No article picture.


• Several spelling mistakes.


• Topic of article is not related to portal.


• Duplicated topic.


• Plagiarism.


• Offensive language.


• Spam.


• Overuse of colourful/large fonts.


• Overdoing the formatting.


• Poor text structure [No paragraphs, Wall of text, etc.]


• Referral Links/Advertising Bad Sites.

thanks dinkle boi, or girl, idk.

:thumbsup: No problem.

Thanks ya!

Your now an official Moderator here then good luck

Thank you !!

Still doesn't matter. Some people will keep posting spam, or copy/paste it from a different website

Most of those are already rejected by the automated system.
We only review articles which have passed that system and check it for the points listed above.

Besides, what you are stating is already covered under the points: "Plagiarism" and "Spam".
There's really no need to worry about these users, as the articles submitted to us after 10/11/2018 will have to undergo both automated and manual verification to be published.

This will lead to lesser spam and copied articles showing up on the Forums & Article Page.
Hope this addresses your concern. :slight_smile:

Thank you very much :D

Keep up the good work Kabash!

Thanks, but the thing is I'm pretty sure my articles don't have any of this stuff so I don't really know what to do. I'll go back and check anyway

Great job or not or yes or what or spam spam spam spam spam spam

@berroni
At least think before spamming on my post. :person_facepalming:
I've issued you a warning for this on your article here.
One more infraction, and you will be banned for 24 hours from GameHag. Have a nice day.

is there an option to save or tag this thread or maybe any thread..its hard to keep on searching important threat like this one

Thanks for sharing this, very helpful to starters!

Honest question. How about threads dedicated to spamming? can others report them as spam? because this goning to be like a witch hunt for spammers and the easiest target would definitly be threads dedicated for spamming

You could bookmark this thread using your browser. :slight_smile:

"Honest question. How about threads dedicated to spamming? can others report them as spam?"

Yes, you can report them as spam. If you feel that the comment can be considered as spam, please report it so that we may take a look. However, do not intentionally report non-spam comments, such as proper replies. Only then will you be penalised for false-reports.

If you are unsure, you can clarify it with me either on GameHag's Discord Server (Username: lolkabash#7000) or ask it in this thread here:

EARN SOUL GEMS FROM REPORTING SPAM COMMENTS!

Hope this answers your questions!

usefull thread

Honestly, this is very straight forward advice for any sort of standard publication. But after reading some of the articles, it looks like it's much needed advice. Thank you for posting!

Thanks for the advise in making articles, now I know they need pictures

Thanks. Very useful.

Great.thank.

Thanks for the reply Kabash :)

Good that you made this! Could be useful for some people.

Still, I hope some moderators don't reject articles for too petty reasons. My last attempt for an article about Depth was rejected by a moderator, at least according to the message. Though I admit, I might have gotten a little careless with empty spaces when I made it. Though it doesn't say why exactly it was rejected by a moderator.

Now I have uploaded a slightly improved version of the article in question and it's currently being verified. Hopefully it gets through this time. But I think the website should be improved so that it also names the specific reason why specifically a moderator rejected it. With the users it could be anything, but with a moderator it's more official.
