Feedback on rejection

Published on January 31, 2004 By Sput In WinCustomize Talk

Just a quick question. Is it reasonable to ask for feedback from the admins if a wallpaper submitted has been rejected?

The reason I ask is that I've been surprised by some of the submisions I've made recently being rejected when similar style/quality ones (IMHO) have been accepted earlier or subsequently.

It's strange when something that took very little effort and which I feel is barely acceptable is accepted when something which (I feel) has much more artistic merit is rejected.

There's probably a very good reason for it I'm sure, and it could be just that the person making the judgement doesn't like it for some reason - that would be fine, but I would like to know the reasons so that I can better understand what may be acceptable in future.

So, should I ask for such feedback, and should I expect a reply? ...and if I should, how should it be done?

Thank you for this post. It has been most helpful! I am very new here and have made a few submissions with no success as of yet. I was beginning to get discouraged. I have learned much in this thread, specifically: Don't overdo it. Looking back, I can see additions I have made to "enhance" a submission (ie: the lens flare) that probably destroyed it. I certainly can understand the positions of the moderators not wanting to have to respond to every single new submission that is rejected or to be able to distinguish those users who truly want constructive advice from those who want to heap abuse. I will keep reading through these posts to learn and keep trying. I appreciate very much the time you take to at least review what I do submit.
