Low Quality or 101-Level AI Content. There’ve been a lot of new users coming to LessWrong recently interested in AI. To keep the site’s quality high and ensure stuff posted is interesting to the site’s users, we’re currently only accepting posts that meets a pretty high bar. We look for good reasoning, making a new and interesting point, bringing new evidence, and/or building upon prior discussion. If you were rejected for this reason, possibly a good thing to do is read more existing material. The AI Intro Material wiki-tag is a good place, for example. You're welcome to post quotes in the latest AI Questions Open Thread.
Sorry, LessWrong has a particularly high bar for content from new users and this didn't quite make the cut. (We have a somewhat higher bar for approving a user's first post or comment)
Formatting. If the post is badly formatted it's hard to read or evaluate. Some common issues here are improper whitespace (either not inserting space between paragraphs, or inserting double paragraph spaces by accident. (Note: when you hit 'return' in our editor it should automatically include a space, and if you copied your essay from another editor you may need to delete extraneous paragraph breaks). Sometimes this may also include grammar or punctuation. (If you're the sort of person who strongly prefers not to capitalize sentences, this doesn't automatically disqualify you from posting but we'll likely suggest at least once you switch to somewhat more formal punctuation, and if your posts are otherwise confusing we may err on the side of not approving.)
