Definitely not my experience. I haven't posted to arXiv in a while now, but I wasn't even aware a moderation queue exists -- none of my papers were delayed, reclassified, or other...
EDIT: I see the article provides a few examples, but then they also provide numbers: "At arXiv, roughly 6 percent of submissions receive a hold, and about 2 percent are rejected." -- 8% of heavy-handed moderation intervention wouldn't qualify as "frequently" IMHO.
- hasjekyll 5y agoI guess it just stops arxiv from turning into vixra.org
- domenicrosati 5y agoJust anecdotally, Ive had a paper rejected once from arxiv. I am glad they did... it was not a very good one. Every other time thought has been fine
