guideline
As an editor, you decide what gets published. Use these guidelines while you make your decisions.1.
Publish celebrity names but reject friends' names.Publish definitions of Jennifer Lopez because she's famous, but reject
my girlfriend Sally.First names are okay, because they don't identify a specific person.Same for bands and schools:
publish if popular and reject if unknown.2. Publish racial and sexual slurs but reject racist and sexist entries.Entries can document discrimination but not endorse it.People use slurs in everyday speech, so they should be published.3. Publish opinions.Don't reject an entry just because it's opinionated. Opinions are useful to readers unfamiliar with a topic.Don't reject an entry because you disagree or are offended.Don't reject an entry because you think it's inaccurate.4. Publish
place names.Publish names, nicknames and
area codes of neighborhoods and cities.5. Publish non-slang words. Ignore misspellings and swearing.Any word from your life belongs here, so don't reject an entry just because it's in a
real dictionary.Don't reject an entry because it's misspelled or includes swearing.6. Publish jokes.Publish sarcastic entries.Reject inside jokes only the author's friends would understand.7. Reject
sexual violence.Reject made-up violent sexual acts.8. Reject nonsense. Be consistent on duplicates.Reject nonsensical, circular, unspecific or all-caps entries.Reject entries with non-English definitions (non-English words and examples are okay).Be consistent if you see two similar entries.9. Reject ads for web sites.Reject
spammy defs that are written to advertise web sites.10. Publish if it looks plausible.It's better to publish a plausible entry than to reject it.You might not have heard the word, but it could be the next hyphy.

Example:
Man at an Empoyment Service interview desk: I'd really
shaft this guy, because I have an
attitude problem about his sort, but unfortunately I must follow the
guidelines laid down, for idiots like me.

Bullshit, Nothing but bullshit.
also, a thinly gised term used when censoring speech (like I expect this may get when I
submit it) when it is too difficult for the
moderator to acknowledge the truth that exists. (like there being a way to recover data from an iphone, or repair a non
booting xbox)
Example:
Thank you for your post but since this is a thread that Violates the ************ Forum Community Guidelines we will be
locking it.
As stated under Rule (22.) Please do not discuss or post links to any topic that could
violate the
Terms Of Use. This includes ANY discussion of self-repair. Please only suggest official support procedures as noted on official support pages on nameyourcorporatesleezebag.com.
Bland Guidelines

A set of design and brand guidelines created for a company by an
evidently boring and talentless artworker. They’re so dull you wonder how the designer ever got their job. They probably went to
art college on
daddy’s money as no talent for anything else.
Example:
OMG, have you seen the new
Scottish Tourism Bland Guidelines
Peter sent through? They’re awful.
