We were actually thinking of doing a hidden rules kind of post and it actually had a lot of what you covered.
Avoid writing few words
That! While 1,000 are welcomed/slightly preferred, it's more the lower end that we worry about. We had a lot of posts that missed curation because of the word count.
Comedy posts are just different as usually the first 100, maybe 200 words or even more are just set-ups so the comedy part actually comes late. So, if a post is like 400-600 words long, in comedy measures it is like 150-200 words. Your post is a great example of that as you needed about 300 words to set up everything.
Always Tag the admins in your post
I wouldn't tag Lisfabian as she's more focused on the Spanish side of things since we have a lot of those and I noticed translation doesn't do the posts justice.
