You will experience a strong urge to do good; but it will pass.

We were just notified, in jan's latest Meta, that AC submissions to the queue are suspect and given lower priority, lest they be covert ari subs. Nice that Jan also has restricted discussion in the front page Meta, as he is wont to do. Enjoy the bubble, remaining soylentils! You may not even realize that janrinok has created one.

As a trained editor - we prefer non-anonymous submissions because its the kind thing to do and recognize our users who are given attribution. We take anonymous submissions and in this case "prioritizing" them means literally checking them for suitability for the site first over the others. It has nothing to do with them likely to be Aristarchus. submissions. But keep throwing shit at the wall and see what sticks mate. Grasping at straws on this one as is the usual.

What if a submission "sounds like" ari, or comes from an IP that has been maliciously spam modded? Can't even see the wall anymore, bro!

All submissions and write-ups are given the same consideration and criteria. There was no training on check post for Ari identification and deny stories that would otherwise be posted. AFAIK there is no practice of matching submissions to IP or other identification or spam relation.

Further more - any editor can decline or process a story. There is notes we leave "not for me" etc. Any one person can pick it up and run with it depending on their expertise or otherwise - one editors trash might be anothers treasure. An article that fails to be ran has really been declined by EVERY editor going through the queue and still not finding an advocate . Really every article is given the same shake.
