COVID Award: Anti-Masks & Vaccines

Hi, I received this pm the following message from your colleague wendy darwin.

The story you submitted, COVID Award: Anti-Masks & Vaccines, was reviewed by moderators but unfortunately was not accepted for inclusion in the archives. If you are interested, you can read the moderator comments here:

Right now: https://DarwinAwards.com/reject/new/pending20210221-190633.html Later on: https://DarwinAwards.com/reject/202102/pending20210221-190633.html

While I regret that my suggestion was not accepted, I do understand that the competition is harsh! ;-) I would indeed be interested to read the moderator comments but the 2 links she sent me are taking me to the main "Recent slush pile" page where my proposal does not seem to appear, is there something I am missing? In any case, I would appreciate if you could redirect me where I could find these comments (so I could learn, in case I ever spot another potential candidate ;-). Many thanks! Dominic

Another nudge for Darwin to get these working again...

We had to deactivate the Reject pile due to a spat of very bad trolling submissions and a lack of options (we'd never needed before) to deal with them. It hasn't been reactivated since, even though even the moderators can't see it when it's locked. You can bring up the matter through the Darwin FB page, if you so choose.
