No it is not because of that matter. It is because the lack of Fairness regarding news items.
Three in a row is to much


Maybe you didn't write the news item as proper formal press releases? It seems this is a selective and subjective requirement? I believe this was the reason to why two of my news items wasn't approved. I had to post them as regular forum posts instead...

To me it's a little unclear (to say the least) of what "as more formal press releases" actually means in practice, so let's have a look at an arbitrary press release found on the Internet. I don't know, maybe it's the date and location in the introduction? Maybe it's the "introduction to the subject for dummies" in the beginning? Maybe it's the mandatory "'We at [corporation] are thrilled to see [yada yada]', said CEO John Doe" quotes? Maybe it's the "Contact" section? Maybe it's the "About" section(s)?

:confused:

All I know is that this (similarly written) MorphOS news item wasn't approved  while this and many others written in a similar fashion was, and constantly is. The former actually had some editorial work put into it, while the latter was a mere copy/paste of a changelog.

Overall, I get the impression that the "We are trying to raise the standards of news items here and encourage them as more formal press releases" works a little selective/subjective, or even random. A bit unfortunate IMHO.
