Conny, I did once have a poem pulled from First Things by an alert proofreader who discovered its previous appearance in a Canadian journal that you needed a password to read -- I couldn't even google it myself.
Like you, I am in favor of more relaxed rules about these things. (And even though I am a timid female, I do sometimes try to circumvent the rules -- and so far, was only caught once, as noted above).
