not published 

An email that is commonly taken personally by people when their definition on Urban Dictionary is not published. It goes like:

Thanks for your definition of ________!

A few volunteer editors read your definition and decided to not publish it. Don't take it personally!

To understand what definitions we publish and reject, check out this blog post: (definitions can't contain links)

Try rewriting your definition so that it's easier for others to understand, then try again.

Thanks,

Urban Dictionary

Then follows the rejected definition.
Mark: Mate, my definition on Urban Dictionary was not published

Robinhood Publishers 

Publishing houses that rob their star authors to pay bonuses to their oft-underpaid and overworked editors and their bosses, using all kinds of creative strategies to avoid getting caught, while family-owned publishers would notoriously overpay themselves and their loved ones or relatives first, but underpay their employees.
Even in low-corruption Singapore, it’s an open secret that Robinhood publishers continue to thrive, because most authors who’ve a sixth sense of being shortchanged couldn’t afford the legal means to suing them for their decades-long shady business practices.
