I don't like that part :-)

Why does it matter how they're submitting it? Plus, we're talking
events, not news here.

But if we have a policy, *everybody* should be treated the same way

issue. The only exception that would be reasonable is if there was a
completely community-driven not-for-profit training event, IMHO.
