The panel will reevaluate the submission and make a majority decision as to whether it will be posted. In the event that the moderation panel is evenly split over whether a submission ought to be posted, the submission shall be posted. This appeal is final; however, the moderators at any time may suggest ways in which a submission might be edited so as to be acceptable for posting.
