I tried to find out what level and kind of article they were looking
for when they went asking for submissions for this feature, but
despite many attempts via email and in person, and to the editors,
they never even bothered to write back.

Anyone know what criteria they use for selecting these articles? 
Seeing as (for the very small number of people who've stated an
opinion) the majority feeling seems to be that most of the articles
are of an uninformed or low quality - if that's fair, why weren't
more MUD-DEV members writing articles for this feature?

Just thoughts.
