Here's an incomplete guideline for what is appropriate for posting on GROONG, and what is not:
If your submission fails to meet our guidelines, we will simply
ignore it, or point you to this `page, to indicate why it was ignored.
WARNING:Most of the material on GROONG is already available to our readers on the Internet. Still, we urge contributors to make absolutely certain that they have permission from the appropriate authors and/or news agencies to redistribute their material. Neither the administrators of this list, nor the site(s) at which this list is based will accept any responsibility whatsoever, for improper or illegal postings.

Having said this, here are some types of submissions which are acceptable for posting on GROONG:
We do not accept "Press Releases" from individuals or corporations. Those are
considered "Letters". Please read the current guidelines
for submitting Letters to Groong. We consider PRs from companies
basically as advertisements and we don't accept them, unless it's an announcement for
a free public service or event or some such. But see Rule #1
Dinners, dances, banquets, galas, fundraisers, popular singers/kef
nights, and most events with more than a few dollars for an entry fee
or donation: forget it. GROONG is not an ad-space. Very rarely, a ticketed
event might be considered, but on a case by case basis, in which case see
Rule #1 above.
GROONG is always looking for quality content, and a meaningful
Critical Review is considered a fair exchange for the announcement.
