I have never had any issues putting things up on the arXiv (just have to get through their latex process, which has some wrinkles). I think I have seen a draft of your paper, and I don't see how arXiv would have an issue with it. Did arXiv reject your draft somehow?
I haven't sent it there. I created an account on arXiv a while back, and as far as I recall there was some process requiring a submission from someone new to be endorsed by someone else. This, I think, although on rereading I see that it only says that they "may" post facto require endorsement of submissions by authors new to arXiv, it's not a required part of the submission process. What happened the very first time you put something there?
(I know I'm not IlyaShpitser, but better my reply than no reply.) I have several papers on the arXiv, and the very first time I submitted one I remember it being automatically posted without needing endorsement (and searching my inbox confirms that; there's no extra email there asking me to find an endorser). If you submit a not-obviously-cranky-or-offtopic preprint from a university email address I expect it to sail right through.
How long ago was this? I believe the endorsement for new submitters requirement was added ~6 years ago.
My first submission was in 2012. I'm fairly sure I read about the potential endorsement-for-new-submitters condition at the time, too.
Well, I've just managed to put a paper up on arXiv (a different one that's been in the file drawer for years), so that works.
Because they're so small, I feel like their policies can be really inconsistent from circumstance to circumstance. I've got a couple papers on arXiv, but my third one has been mysteriously on hold for some months now for reasons that are entirely unclear to me.
