Responsibilities of the Publishers

To make sure you 'don't get me wrong:' read this all-the-way-through before responding.I am in-no-way 'suggesting' that any responsibilities should be taken, I'm just observing that these are the responsibilites that are taken.

Firstly, the responsibilities of Xomba's publishers: they've set the program to notify us of comments and -responses to our comments and -responses. That is a good thing; it makes Xomba good for writers to use to learn a) what topics 'push people's buttons today' and b) how writers understand your writing.

However, that (plus the 'reviewing of flagged content,' whether readers complain about the content because it breaks G-Money Rules or just rules of logic and -morality) is the extent of their responsibility-they don't do anything if you include disgusting content if no one complains, nor if you copy content from any site you link to (as long as you make clear that you get the content from the link).

The responsibilities of AssociatedContent (AC)? If you ask for them to 'buy' your content, they base the publication decision on 'whether they would publish on that topic' (not necessarily 'if they agree with you,' but rather 'if you intelligently deal with something they would deal with'). So that assumes more responsibility for the content-quality than Xomba's 'Natural Selection'-method.

But AC only notifies you if your content is commented on (along with the 'messages you're sent' and the 'buddies you're asked to add')-not if your 'comments' are commented on-so the writer of the original article is given 'the final say.' But only if the article writer posts another 'reader's comment' to the article, because-once an AC-article is 'published'-only AC's webmaster can change it, and then only by deleting it (or maybe changing the title, with expressed-permission of you ... the Content Provider).
