I'm puzzled by this rejection. "Politically charged" doesn't seem like a valid reason for rejection (because by that standard, apps like Huffington Post on the left or Drudge on the right wouldn't have a place in the app store) I hope Apple

This "evidence" isn't anything new. Ultimately it boils down to a question of semantics. Apple verbiage says that they've rejected a "binary". That leaves the door open for negotiations and possible approval of a future "binary" for the sam

Hi, I think you'll lose a lot of potential users (like me) because your site requires registration. Depending on your plans for the site, this may not be a big deal. However, can you explain the reasoning behind requiring registration

I'm not sure if one specific reason would be more important than others. For instance, I wouldn't want to work on something that I'm not passionate about (incentive B). However, over the long-term, I also wouldn't want to work on something
