yes. A few. Some I expected, and some I still wonder why. What pisses me off most about the whole deal is, if it's rejected, you're not told why, and the whole post is just GONE, so you can't fix it or improve it or anything, there's no chance to make it fit standards, it's just GONE. What's even more fucked up is, I've submitted few just for shits and grins and they've gone through and some serious ones that I spent a lot of time on got denied, so it's like, what?? Why?? Huh??
I just recently left for a couple weeks an the first poll I submitted was rejected, and for what I have NO idea, as it seemed perfectly legit to me but whatever. Almost made me want to just leave again, and make way for the THOUSANDTH masterbation (purposely misspelled) poll that was apparently better than my original and cool poll.
totally this.
Being rejected, even though i spent quite a while on proper wording and thinking how to formulate what i was trying to say was NOT as harsh as realizing it was all gone.
I would have expected the site to give me a chance to rework it, phrase it differently, etc...
Have it end up in "my stuff" with a "REJECTED", a short reason for the rejection, and a option to resubmit. That would be a whole lot nicer.
When we reject a post, we include the content of the post in the email that you get. This email also encourages you to edit and resubmit. The idea being that it's easy to copy and paste the content from the email into the submission form and go from there. (I can see how it's a bit more tedious for polls)
Are you not getting those emails?
Would having a link in that email to resubmit that pre-populates the form be much easier to work with? Would having the "rejected" tab in my stuff be best of all?
Thanks.
Dear TheManagement,
I recently sent a poll (which is kind of the reason why I made this post) that got rejected for a reason I am not sure of. I just checked my email, and no, I could not find anything about the rejected poll. Maybe you rejected tab suggestion would work better. Thanks.
Would love to receive a message on the actual site that includes a reason why things were rejected! I never check my email...
Unfortunately we can't give specific reasons for each one. The moderation is prohibitively expensive as it is and this would really slow things down a lot. If you ever want a specific reason for one that you think was really wrong, you should feel free to reply to the rejection email or email feedback and I'd be happy to look into that specific case.
As for adding notifications for rejections on the site and an easy way to re-submit/edit, I think I can work on something along those lines if people will find it useful.
Maybe add an option somewhere in the user profile that lets users choose if they would like rejection notifications here on the site, or if they would like them sent by email.
notifications on site and a easy way to re-submit would be great.
The point is, i get emails, but i also have all the notifications for comments or replys to my comments...and it's not my primary email-address. So basically the first time i logged in again i saw a huge SWAMP of emails from the site, and didn't dig through it.
As for Reasons, i could imagine that often it's standardized reasons why something will not be accepted...possibly you can just add them into the moderation interface as checkboxes.
So a moderator, before pressing reject, can simply click on "Not a Yes/No question", "lacking grammar", "racist" or whatever else is a reason...just takes one click extra.
Thank you for looking into this, I'd appreciate it, and i'm sure others with me.
Ah, well that's understandable. The only ones I had rejected were, while I would like to see what people said, ultimately a bit silly anyways. Nothing I've been more serious about has been rejected.
"submitted few just for shits and grins" - don't do that, they might not take you seriously in the future.
Remember they have submissions probably in their thousands to deal with and the trolls on the site are casting a 1001 new troll stories every day, so it's an exhausting job to go through stories weeding out gold from the sh*t. It gets to a point where you just read the first few lines and make a judgment call.
Not saying you are a troll, I do actually enjoy your comments :)
but this is just my guess.
Yes, and I think this is why:
Thus far, all of my posts have been exclusively for the purpose this website was intended for. When I write, I'm openly curious of its normality, and would like an opinion from the rest of society. Any commenting is mainly to give back to the site, so I try to help out by giving relative personal accounts (for comparison). Basically, I've used "Is It Normal?" more as a tool than a cure for boredom.
Yes I submitted one about having wet dreams about udi or something like that..flicking the bean to the thought of him. I have no idea why it was rejected...
I can't belive how most of you actually think your stories were worth approving...
If I were approving 99% of these stories would never make it through. But what I do agree with is that some really really WTF stories make it through while not so WTF stories are rejected.
But I don't think it's not so much the admins fault as it is trolls just making the job of reviewing all your posts a nightmare!
The site's description is very simple "Is it normal?", but some people read it as "I need to get off on something". And start drowning the daily lists with their fetish literature, and troll baiting.
Look if your question was genuinely to ask the community "Is this normal?" then I can't see any reason to reject it, but once you start going into "wet pussies" and "erect dicks" and pedo/incestuous nonsense it then becomes obvious what you're up to.
I swear go to the bathroom and do yourself a left handed favor and be done with it!
I asked one several months ago that was very garbled and confused when I look back on it, probably because I was feeling so down and confused when I wrote it. It was about a social issue I had at school, it was trivial now I think about it. I'm almost glad it was rejected. I've asked a small handful of others. and they've all been accepted. I've never asked a joke question, only serious ones.
I submitted one that got rejected before about a kitten with the most pathetic and pitiful meow I've ever heard. I wasn't surprised it got rejected.
I wanted to ask if it was normal not to know what a fap story is....never made it, sadly.....
I've had 3 rejected recently:-
* One on clit-fighting
* Which area of IIN you prefer to click on to start answering questions
* Cat's tongue/dog's tongue
I've had some amazing stuff get through though. Amazing it was accepted I mean.
It's so utterly random IMO.
My name is Johnny. I’m 18, black, a tennis jock in college and living at home with my parents in a middle class neighborhood in Houston. I have a girlfriend and all, but for the past few years I’ve enjoyed sucking guys off. Then there is the special arrangement I have with my next door neighbor.
Agree...I had some really good posts and they were rejected. And then I see all of the incest ones, and others that are obviously fake and or stupid like "Is It Normal That I Pee On My Plants To Water Them?" Come on! really? I sometimes wonder if this site is mediated by a bunch of 10 year olds out of their tree fort. If I submit something about "Poop" or "Pee" It will go through. I'm surprized there hasn't been a booger eater post yet.
You have to make the stories as outrageous and ridiculous as possible. See at first this website was trying to keep out trolls, but nothing can keep us out. We always find a way in, so the moderators just gave up and started approving almost any ridiculous and outrageously obvious trolling stories.
I mean seriously, dont come here to get advice.
Yeah - I submitted 2 Gracie (Hawkins) at KFC-West Bars (Chesterfield, Derbyshire (UK))
and ALL I got were - would U like fries with THAT
?? Who has fries with a salad ??
I made a story about the pink slime and the FDA, Why did it get Rejected?
I've had a few to get rejected. After deep contemplation on their rejection, I'm glad they got rejected.
Yeah, the first story I ever tried to post on this site was rejected. It was called "Racism and Ignorance." I dont know why it was rejected though...it was super long but it was definitely not offensive and I already had some comments on it.
Questions I have asked that got turned down:
"Is it normal I am so deft I can fuck a man to death and make his widow cum before he hits the floor?"
"My country boner just won't go down, IIN?"
"I used to be an adventurer, but I just couldn't motivate myself to get back out there and start doing it again after I took an arrow in the knee, IIN?"
Actually only once or twice. One was a very common question and I didn't realize it until I looked it up and another was just something that I thought was funny.
I don't even bother trying anymore, my serious posts always get rejected.
I've noticed anything to do with dying/death or questioning the integrity of this site usually gets rejected.
That's probably why mine got rejected. I asked how many people who post here were really over the age of 18.
I ask a similar question to yours and it got rejected as well. I also ask a question about near-death experience but, for reason unknown to me, that got rejected too. Its not alright to ask questions about death or the legitimacy of this site...but any question regarding incest (since its a common theme for this site) is alright. Wtf IIN...wtf..
I had a beautifully written post about wanting to have sex with a retard rejected. I can't blame management, it wasn't real, but god damn was it funny.
Picture this.....I start with a little music to lighten the mood, something she'll enjoy, the wheels on the bus, maybe the theme song from charles in charge. I lie down next to her on my twin bed, that's right, ballin. I run my index finger over her massive forehead in circular motions, such a tease. Hey, hey... No biting. She grunts in frustration, oh she wants me so, drooling in anticipation. Ah, i'm not cruel, she shall receive what she so hungrily desires. I slowly slide her adult diapers to the floor. Oh it's magical, like staring into the eyes of god, a bush the likes of which i have never seen. Her eyes find mine...then drift to the spinning ceiling fan...ah playing stupid i see. I then unsheathe my sword, 3.5 inches of rock hard manhood. She reaches for my wrinkled sack, i shy away, knowing she could crush it into a diamond. She plants her face in the pillow, posterior pointing to the heavens. What's this? Am i not the first to explore her nether regions? She seems to know the routine. Well, this simply won't do. Surely i can't play second fiddle to the lucky man who has plowed her depths prior. So i bid her good day, leaving this tart, this harlet, this tramp to another of less discriminating virtues. And the search continues for the untainted box of the elusive mongoloid. IIN to have this fantasy of nailing a tard?
Why was this rejected? Ha
Yes, I submitted the following question: Do you believe free will is an illusion? I got shot down for that. Stupid. It was a good question.
