The name "Joe Rogan" seems to be forbidden in plot outlines for "The Joe Rogan Experience"
Several times, I've submitted plot outlines for episodes of "The Joe Rogan Experience" that get rejected. I've found that if I remove the name "Joe Rogan" from the outline, and change nothing else, it goes through.
Above is the latest plot outline to be rejected, presumably because the name "Joe Rogan" is in it. Rather than remove his name and resubmit it, as I've done several times before, I thought it was time to report this issue. Maybe it's a glitch. Note that the ticket also includes my plot summary for the episode. The summary also has the name "Joe Rogan" in it, but it was accepted.
That's how it usually goes. I submit an outline and a summary for an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience." Joe Rogan's name appears in both the outline and the summary, but only the summary is approved. I resubmit the outline, remove Joe Rogan's name, while changing nothing else. And then the outline goes through.
If you need me to dig through my old submissions and find examples of outlines that were rejected at first, but then accepted after Joe Rogan's name was removed, let me know; but I hope the matter can be resolved without all that research.

Hi @jay_spirit -
Thanks for reporting. I have just approved the plot outline for the episode, as I can see it was initially declined in error (in general, there shouldn't be an issue with the mention of the name).
I have escalated the error to the team for visibility, but if you continue observing rejections, let us know here and I can escalate further.

This plot outline for an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience has been rejected.
As I said in a recent post, I have had several plot outlines for episodes of this podcast declined. Each time, I would resubmit the plot outline making only one change—I removed the name of Joe Rogan. Then the plot outline would be accepted.
Well, this time, my plot outline happened not to include the name of Joe Rogan, but it has been rejected anyway. And so my hypothesis that the name "Joe Rogan" was the problem appears to be false.
I don't know what's going on. Maybe some glitch causes plot outlines for episodes of this particular podcast to be rejected whenever they are submitted along with the episode itself. Maybe the reason my resubmissions went through is not because I removed the name of Joe Rogan, but because the glitch does not occur when the episode itself is already live.
I have no idea.
