h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

well i AM causing a scene my entry does not contravene the house rules its crap its is to help those of us who screw up and dont have an extra key

I must admit, if the reasoning behind failing the entry was because it's unsuitable for a 'family site', then failing hotwiring cars and allowing entries on apple pipes does seem a little silly. I would have thought it rather easier for a parent to explain hotwiring cars than weed, to enquiring children, or durexs, on which there is an entry, come to that.
Perhaps the editorial team could give us a clear answer, to end any debate?

i hope they will its begining to tick me off thats pretty stupid rejecting my entry....

Hmmm.... I'm really not sure what was said between you and the moderators, but it does seem a little odd.

To be honest, I would support the fact that when this article is complete, it's content would assume NO illegal act whatsoever!!! Where as several articles that are already in the guide, are on SO much more dubious and frankly "NON family" issues!!!

Information on simple electronics is surely NOT something to be moderated!??? And I really can't see justification for this act.

If you have any further info, let us know.

cool is there any way to overthrow their judgement ? this seriously ticks me off

Well... other than e-mailing Abi, Linda, Peta or H2G2 Support and pleading your case... I'm not sure...

The correct way to query a Moderation decision is to reply to the Moderation email.

Ah... but we do so love to pester you Italics with our meaningless lives...



(I'm still uncertain as to what rule this article broke...)

Again I say, not looking to cause a scene, *but*
If my own article on how to get into your own car without the keys is okay, why isn't this? Yes the entry needs more work. BUT- hotwiring cars- not illegal getting into your own car and starting it, by whatever means, not illegal. Surely H2H2 is not looking to be responsible for everything people could take it upon themselves to do from information on the site?

If the purpose of this guide guide is to be "a guide to life, the universe and everything", then even within the BBC's rules, this is okay.

Sorry itallics, We know it's not really your issue, but those of us that didn't write the entry can't reply to the mods, so we can only put our views to you, the team.

That's ok, we're here to answer questions, but this one was answered here - F47997?thread=185006

thanks kerrvon but it if isnt a family site if this is supposed to be a guide to everything then why not make a guide to EVERYTHING? sorry i just dont get this.....anyway thanks for pleading my case kerrvon
