Quality Standards? Options

[digitalfragrance]

Alright. I have nothing personal against these designs, or their designers. In fact, some of these designers have other great layouts. However, I think that the ones on this list are EITHER...

A. Too simple for a DIV layout (not much content either)
B. Too simple for a Standard layout (no banners or contact tables...)
C. Low image quality
D. Inadequate designing

Granted, some are better or worse than others.

Are we adhering to what was discussed ealier about slightly raising quality standards as we go? I know that was a topic that all of us agreed on before I stepped down. Whether or not the mods are, it seems as if the quality of some layouts accepted is below the standards that we had.

Take it or leave it, but that's what I think. Does the community feels the same way I do?

*NOTE: I paid no attention to who accepted these.

Well repeating what has already been spoken, the design staff, head staff, and admins have access to the queue. But only probably 5-6 actually go in there regularly I would say. Every person is on their own, but the higher ups do go in there and double check things, to see what should have been accepted that already was, and the person who accepted it gets asked questions on why they accepted and then usually its rejected.

I've never seen a discussion over a rejected layout, if its rejected, then well its in the black hole of createblog. I mean in most rejection letters they should give you a reason as to why it was rejected, and if not. Then simply PM the mod back and ask them what was the problem with the layout and what you could do to fix it so your layouts are accepted in the future.

if you posts some links, or you can even feel free to PM me and I'll look at your layouts and see what the problem could be.
