[00:01:33] <carny> and since usa is doing everything it can to control our reported numbers like china nobody knows for sure how bad it is here yet

[07:45:10] <aristarchus> janrinok, by ACCIDENT? That aristarchus subs were place in the HOLD bin? Again? Possible. Like Athanasiuis's journal was not buried. Or like how there is no censorship on SN. But, and here is the point as well you know, "Caesar's wife must be above all suspicion." Still true, yeah?
[07:46:24] <janrinok> You pointed it out - Bytram corrected it. And thank you for confirming it - you are absolutely correct that there IS NO CENSORSHIP on SN.
[07:55:25] <janrinok> Let me correct your errors. There is no HOLD bin. There are several queues into which submissions can be placed QUIK [sic], BACK, HOLD and NULL. Submissions when they arrive go directly into the NULL queue by design. They are not deleted, nor is it a bin. It is simply a way of organising the submissions to enable us to do our job.
[07:56:44] <janrinok> Likewise, the HOLD queue is not a bin. All of the stories that we are currently placing in the HOLD will be consolidated into the regular corona Round-Up. So, rather than being placed in a bin, they are actually being kept for publication!
[07:58:29] <janrinok> There is no censorship - you have your own area in which you can publish any stories that you wish. That cannot be any further from censorship than it currently is. Now, we don't often select your alt-right stories and let me explain why.
[08:01:00] <janrinok> Your offerings are biased, repetitive and of little interest to the majority of our community. If you want to create a left-wing, right-wing or middle of the road politics site please go right ahead. We have already offered you the software, I have offered to train your editors on how it works, and you can publish whatever you wish. Whether you do or not is your decision.
[08:03:17] -!- AzumaHazuki has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[08:05:17] <aristarchus> Methinks the ed doth protest too much! Who'd of thought the old editor to have so much censorship in him? Out, out, damn spot. Thank Zeus for Bytram!
[08:21:58] <janrinok> You have had 12 stories published in 2020 - please explain how that is censorship?
[08:34:14] <aristarchus> Hmm, 12 out of 114. Nearly a purely statistical error! Don't take it personal, janrinok. I know you do the best you can. But I only counter the alt-right libertarian bias of SN, I do not seek to replace it. I am here for a reason.
[08:34:50] <janrinok> Of the ones that have been rejected, 123 have been Alt-Right, White Nationalist or White Supremacist in content, by your own choice of title. A handful (11) were not even in English, which is a prerequisite for this site.
[08:35:12] <janrinok> You are free to print any or all of them in your journal.
[08:37:55] <janrinok> My data is based on your submissions going back to Oct 2019 - which adds another 7 to your accepted list. Follow the rules and your stories are selected - keep submitting politically biased reports and they will be rejected. You can be very silly for someone who professes to be intelligent.
[08:38:38] <aristarchus> 123 out of 114? STEM, janrinok! STEM! That includes subtraction and other basic mathematical functions!
[08:39:00] <janrinok> read what I have written before you spout off rubbish
[08:39:50] <aristarchus> Are you suggesting I hide the alt-right, alt-white, and not-so-bright in my title choices? Hmmm, intriguing.
[08:39:59] <janrinok> you are trying to counter comments with submissions - it doesn't work that way. Debate your case in the discussion following each story, not try to flood SN with your political rubbish
[08:41:57] <aristarchus> Now you are calling my honest and sincere submissions "rubbish"? I am cut to the quick, mon Editore! Already I knew you were beyond rational debate. So thanks again to Bytram. Good, morning?
[08:42:36] -!- aristarchus has quit []
[08:45:50] <janrinok> Not at all, 19 of them have been published since Oct 2019. But the overwhelming majority of your alt-right stories fit that description perfectly.
[09:53:41] <chromas> Pretty sure he's just trollin' ya
[09:54:27] <janrinok> so am I, but he made an allegation and I felt that I ought to be civil and respond
[09:57:57] <Bytram> ~tell aristarchus In addition to what janrinok posted here, I would encourage you to take a look at the story submission guidelines (https://soylentnews.org/faq.pl?op=editorial) (a link for which appears in the Story Submission page https://soylentnews.org).

[10:00:07] <Bytram> ~tell aristarchus and later: Don't grumble about declined submissions.
[10:02:33] <Bytram> ~tell aristarchus Again, your are not being censored; you are free to post any of your submissions to your journal.
