When you submit, why aren't you told that your submissions are DOA?
Instead, you get no warning, so you believe your submissions have been accepted, when in fact nobody else can see them. If you click the "New" link you actually see your own submissions, but since nobody else can, they never get any votes.
This is quite deceptive and probably done to keep you interested in the site, until you figure out you have less "rights" than other visitors.
