Editors

(noun, plural)

a ragtag menagerie of losers, basement internet trolls, idiots, clowns, apes and dinosaurs entrusted by Urban Dictionary with the task of approving new words (a very ill-advised decision by Urban Dictionary in itself). Unsurprisingly, they botch jobs, often failed to abide by the guidelines, and some of them even became petty tyrants on a power trip, who reject every new word definitions, legitimate or not, to sate their personal revenge on society for the fact that they are losers, basement trolls, apes and dinosaurs who have no life.

Cocksucking assholes who choose to let words in that mean absolutley jack shit but when given an actual definition used by society in a rural town they piss on it.

There are two kinds to Editors;

1. The good kind of Editor who pays attention and takes alittle time out of their day to look and think about every new definition that comes along they're way. Usually doing 50~150 definitions in one sitting.

2. 10 year old n00blets who think they actually have a chance at being the law somewhere, and usually say "NO" and "I Don't Know" to every definition. These usually get bored of this within two weeks.

The people at urban dictionary that accept the stupidest definitions that you can think of that don't make any sense. But, then they don't accept all of the GOOD definitions that actually have proper grammar and aren't 5 paragraphs of run on sentences something about grandmas with ample breasts that make peanut bitter and jelly sandwiches on toasted rye bread. They sometimes accept and reject definitions in a matter of minutes but, they mostly take 2 months to reject a definition .

Editors are these people that live in remote areas of the world and deny my the right to opinionated definitions of certain words.

Great indie band from the UK.

Gorgeous melodies. Soul-stirring lyrics.

Admirable lead singer.

The news is of the people, by the people, for the people. Urban Dictionary is of the people, by the people, for the editors.
This definition, however, is by an editor, for editors... and for anyone else who cares.

Editors, in a general sense, are individuals that check and double-check the works of other people, to make sure those people don't come off as sounding like complete fools.

Editors on Urban Dictionary are an interesting breed. There are a number of things that separate them from the generic editor:

1) UD editors cannot actually edit the content of definitions that people submit--they only have the power to accept or reject.

- This means, unfortunately, that many definitions will be a little bit incoherent because they otherwise adhere to editing guidelines. There is nothing that can be done about this. They probably hate this fact as much as you do.

2) UD editors have ABSOLUTELY NO MEANS of contacting people who submit definitions.

- This means you have no right to feel miffed when your definition is rejected 'for no reason'--there IS a reason, we just don't have the means to tell you.

3) UD editors unconditionally hate it when people use full names when not referring to popular culture. This is something that you won't find with editors of other things.

- This means that when you submit a definition that solely consists of how much you hate someone or how awesome somebody is, the editors want to kill you. Being an editor does not change this. Disguising it as a legitimate definition does not change this. JAMieE IS BeIGN A FAGGGGOEt does not change this. GTFO.

4) UD editors get a sizable amount of hate for doing what they do. The very idea of this is absurdly hilarious, because it is the editors that keep this website from degenerating into a cesspool of interpersonal issues.

- This means (to keep it simple) that editors do NOT hate you... unless you write your definition like you're on fifty narcotics.

5) UD editors do not have absolute power.

- This means that a submission must go through MULTIPLE EDITORS before it is finally accepted and published! We are not lazy bums, we are not overworked--we just require consensus to do anything. Don't be pissed because it takes a few days for your submission to be reviewed.

6) UD editors are not perfect. Some are worse than others.

- This means that YES, there are stupid editors who will not publish for equally stupid reasons. See number 5, and keep in mind that the good ones hate them as much as you do.

tl;dr version:
UD editors know what it's like. If you are not a UD editor, you don't know what it's like. I am a UD editor trying to get you to understand what it's like. I will probably fail.

In other words, this is my attempt to get non-editors to get what editors are and what they do, and (for the most part) what they think about YOU. Whether it is effective or not is entirely my fault--so don't hate the editors.
