EXTENDED NETOWRK BANNERS SHOULDNT BE REQUIRED Options

[Citra]

i am having a bit of a hard time as to why you suddenly require extended network banners. i have a layout series [NEBULA], and i usually get lots of requests to make new ones with different color schemes. i currently have 3 of them. and my 4th one was rejected because of this new guideline. i know that my layouts are high quality and adding a extended network banner isnt going to make them any better, it will actually make them look worse. cant the rule just be "extended network banners are encouraged but if your layout looks fine without it, we will accept it" WHY NOW, why is this rule necessary, extended netowrk abnners arent supposed to have a background image. ughh so stupid and ridiculous.

I agree that "tastes" is probably a better word than "standards." I wasn't aware the the guidelines were just updated and haven't submitted anything recently, so I only know how things were before. I have two approved layouts that don't have extended network banners, but yet I've had a couple rejected because of it. I, personally, didn't feel much was set in stone for awhile.

So yeah, long story short: I didn't know there were "official" changes made, and I'm glad they were.
