Hey there!

I seriously hope I don't come across as a whiner. I realize that layouts get rejected for everyone, but I'm a little disconcerted. I have recently had three of my layouts rejected in a row from the same mod.

I really can't see why they have been rejected. They meet all of the criteria found in the requirements that I can see and, to be honest, I feel that the layouts were up to par with the other layouts being accepted...perhaps more simple, but nice just the same. I don't know if it's ok for me to contact the mod...I think I've read different things in the forums.

Really, I understand I'm not going to get all of my layouts accepted, but to have all of my new ones rejected by one mod when I feel they really are acceptable makes me a little sad. (Maybe I'm wrong...maybe the suck. ) Can I resubmit if I really feel it should be reconsidered? Should I be talking to someone else specifically?

Thanks!

It's not at all a problem to contact the moderator who reviewed your submission. I'll go take a look now, though..

edit; Looking through, I actually probably would have accepted the last two (Stewie and Journal), but not Serendipity, if that gives you any idea. On the Journal one, the links are a tiny bit hard to read, and on the Stewie layout the header image is compressed too much. However, I'm almost positive that that's the fault of our uploader, so I'll recommend that you save your images in GIF or PNG format rather than JPG. Hope that helps.

Do go ahead and contact the person who reviewed your layouts, since I can't see who it was, and maybe she'll be able to tell you what it was about the layouts that can be improved.

Hey, thanks so much for the reply!

I will surely contact the mod and ask what it is he sees that needs to be fixed. Thanks again and I'll be sure to save my images as a gif or png.

show us your layout in the showcase.

we can help you.

who rejected the layouts. -__-
I think it was me, but i usually give the reason 0_o

No, 'twasn't you. It was moorepocket.

Is it alright if I submit them again? I took Spiritual Winged Aura's advice and posted in the showcase section and I think if I make an adjustment or two they would be ready. I don't want to resubmit if it's a big deal, though or I'm not supposed to.

Thanks for everyone's help...all your suggestions were really helpful!

The same mod rejected the layouts because when we go through them there are more than 1 (usually), and we try to go through all of them.

Anyways, yeah.. if ever your layouts get rejected just contact the Mod and ask why.

just ask the mod why he rejected them.
Make sure to read the rules, don't take any copyrighted images unless you have permission. Make sure the images aren't bad quality and stuff..

0_O the person should have given you reasons why they were rejected though.

I went ahead and sent a pm asking why they were rejected. Thanks for everyone's attentiveness and for answering all my questions!

Multiple rejections from a mod just means they happen to be going through it that day. It's nothing personal.

Actually, those submissions were pretty far apart..

It was just hit and miss in this case. But ah well, her question was answered, and for the record, you are more than welcome to resubmit after making any improvements.
