The Approvers role is to ensure that the content meets the basic requirements for posting. These requirement are primarily that the submission does not breach copyright, pertains to RAEME and is not offensive. To view the posting guidelines click HERE. If, for what ever reason, the submission is rejected and the author is not happy with the reasons given, they can email their concern via the Contact Us page. The article will then be independantly reviewed. Should the submisison be rejected, the author will be informed in detail the reasons for non acceptance.
