[MDL Writers] Article Ideas & Discussion

 Badass Bunny:

Dear admins, has there been a change in the schedule for editorials? Previously you have published 2 editorials each weekend, but you have stopped. With the long queue in the excel sheet, it will take you 14 weeks to release all the articles in "pending" section. Some articles are time sensitive, meaning they are wrap-ups for this year for example, so your current behavior is going to make us - writers - look like fools. Imagine reading a Halloween or Christmas article in summer LOL. 

The numbers are clearly showing that News articles recieve barely any interaction, so why keep pushing those, not even giving editorials TWO DAYS to shine and instead push your News section? From a basic marketing point-of-view this is a terrible technique. 

I have been gone from Forum for months, so if there has been any change in this, please inform me. 

This ^^ it's also really discouraging as a writer. I feel like I have a lot of ideas for things I want to write, but I am really hesitant to pitch anything because I know they will end up being published when they are no longer relevant. I feel like this website is losing a lot of charm by ignoring editorials in favor of articles.

It's extra frustrating considering we have voiced our opinions (such as in the forums or suggestions) and nothing gets done. I know the editors don't have a say in this but is there no one out there, who may be reading this, that can do something?
