A few days ago I had my article deleted.

It didn't insult anyone, it was nothing compared to other immoral articles people have written, or even a few things I myself have written before. The bottom line is, it didn't deserve the axe.

Yes, I admit that it almost didn't have anything to do with sports and I even made fun of it for that, but then again this isn't the first article that was written on this site that isn't exactly sports-related.

A friend of mine called Rocky Getters wrote an article called Me, Myself, and Sports, it had very few things to do with sports and it was mainly about him and how sports affected his life—but again, it was basically about him and not sports.

That article won an AOTD, and in my humble opinion it deserved the AOTD, but it wasn't exactly the SPORTS article of the day.

Later on, someone wrote an article about dogs and won an AOTD. I'm not even jealous or envious, I'm just pissed off.

My article, while not the most read, was getting POTD votes that were making me feel good about myself, but some editor wanted to play like some kind of editing God and deleted it.

No warning, no kind of caution or excuse, but instead deleted it without me getting any kind of information on why they wiped it—if I was warned maybe I would've changed a few things.

I told myself: "Finally, an article I could share with my friends from the NFL or Wrestling page". I  rarely send them links about my articles because I know they won't enjoy them—For God's sake, I even posted a few people in the NASCAR page.

But this article was different, it was something most people could read, maybe not most would like, but it was intended for all people.

The definition of the word 'Editor' is: "a person who edits or makes changes to documents".

This was taken from wiktionary.org—it didn't mention deleting some one's work.

I once wrote an article called "What The F*** Is Wrong With Arsenal?", it didn't get any kind of warning even though the name itself caused controversy, did it deserve the axe? Well, on B/R it did, but what about freedom of speech?

I mean, that's the main reason I joined B/R, to share my opinion and gladly accept any criticism regarding my actions.

I wanted to address a few things I wanted to share with anyone who edits articles on B/R.

I once got an article edited by three people! Why on earth would I need three people to edit an article?

The first edited the typos, the second changed a few words that he didn't like, as if it were his own article, and the third told me "Great work, I couldn't find any problems."

Of course you couldn't find any problems, two people edited the article to death before you showed up, why, didn't you read their feedback? Besides, if you put the second editor's name instead of mine, I would never be able to tell that it was my article to begin with, even the headline is different!

As if it wasn't bad enough, I had two people edit an article at the EXACT SAME MOMENT. It was like a slap to the face.

One of them changed like twenty words, the other changed another twenty, in less than a minute, a portion of the article was gone.

I know that the editors need to edit for a certain number of hours in the week, but these mistakes are annoying and make no sense in anyway.

Couldn't there be a way to let only one editor edit the article? If everyone decides to edit on the site, then everyone can change anything they like.

And one more thing: the AOTD system is weird, I hear that only one writer on the football site won an AOTD since September, that's mainly because football isn't the most popular sport on B/R, but the other sports like NFL or Wrestling get most of the glory.

That's okay really, but most guys from the football page won't read that NFL article, even if it did win an AOTD, it's just not for them, shouldn't they make an AOTD for every sport, an AOTD for football, baseball, NFL, etc.

That way the readers will know which article to read in every sport.

I know that I'm not the only one who has been through this situation, and that encouraged me to write this article.

I don't mean to piss off any editors on the site, but I'm not the kind of guy that takes a dose of injustice and keeps quite about it. I'm not trying to get myself kicked out of B/R, but if stating my opinion is gonna get me kicked out, then I might be better off doing something else.

Thank you all.
