request for advice

[Jim Nastos]

Hi all,
Since the OEIS, on the submission page, writes:

> IMPORTANT: Thousands of people use the sequence database every day.
> Please take great care that the terms you send are absolutely correct.
> The standards are those of a mathematics reference work.

then I don't see why the OEIS shouldn't use the same filtering standards 
the mathematical journals take. That is: reserving the right to reject any 
submissions that are not relevant enough, interesting enough, or rigorous 
enough (I'm sure that one who sends a large quantity of sequences probably 
sacrifices a lot of quality in providing, say, full and complete 
and descriptive names to sequences and even sacrifices correctness or 
completeness. 'Completeness' here can allude to the submission of only a 
handful of terms when it is clear that 40 or so terms can be produced.)

I say that the OEIS should take on the strict policies that respected
publications do, without the need to create an exhaustive list of what can 
or cannot be submitted. A referee is free to use his or her own discretion 
as to what is a satisfactory submission.
