$output .= "Note that we do not revamp or extend your submission so it is up to you to make sure your submission is well-written: if you don't care enough to be clear and complete, your submission is likely to be moderated down by our army of moderators. Try to be complete, aim for clarity, organize and structure your text, and try to carry out your statements with examples. It is also encouraged to extend your submission with arguments that flow from your unique intellectual capability and experience: offer some insight or explanation as to why you think your submission is interesting. Make sure your submission has some meat on it!
