Right.. heres my story.
Quite recently I got into Createblog again, and as my graphical talents have improved a little, have started uploading some of my better graphics. I noticed that the moderators seemed to be nicer than before, and commented on a lot of the things I submitted, which I was really happy about. I started gaining more confidence in my ability and over the past few weeks have made some of the best uncoded layouts ive made in a long time.
Anyway, I sign on today to see if I have anymore new comments, and I see I have 4 messages, which baffled me.

So I look, and I read that 3 of my icons which were accepted, have now been rejected, because of a font being unreadable, or the image being too soft or grainy. Looking at these icons, I can see if you look really closely, with your face a few inches away from the screen, then indeed it does look a little grainy. But if you look at it from a normal distance, it looks fine. And most people arent particually fussed anyway!
And WHAT THE HELL?! I was told this is really blurry and out of focus, and it isnt clear:

In my opinion it isnt really blurry, really out of focus (correct me if im wrong. It might just be that as im long sighted I cant see it as well as others..) However, I can see its a little grainy.. BUT SHE DIDNT SAY THAT!

NOW IM SORRY I cant buy the most perfect software. I can clearly see that not EVERYONES graphics are perfect on here.

And I also want to mention the people that moderate our graphics. Each time I submit something in a group, it is done by different person. Now I totally understand that CreateBlog is really popular and gets loads of submissions, but all the people who moderate these seem to have different qualities in mind? So i get told one thing by one mod, I do it for another icon so that its perfect, and then another mod tells me something else. Why not have just one moderator, that knows exactly what is right and wrong? Instead of loads of people. Lots of people means lots of opinions. One mod may like it, while another may not.. you see?
I also notice that my worst icons get accepted. What the hell is with that?
And ALSO (sorry about all the also's) one of the moderaters that accepted a few of my graphics, commented on basically all of my things. But after I read messages from her this morning, I looked through all of my graphics to make sure they were up to standard, and I notice that all the comments from her on all the icons she had commented on had gone! I only have one comment from her on a banner now, and I know for a FACT I had more than one comment from her. HELL, I even thing she commented on one of the graphics she accepted and then rejected!

And why reject a graphic a few days after its accepted?! You either accept it or you dont..! It cant been good one day and not the next! I thought this was over (You remember a while back when there was a massive clearout? Well basically all my graphics that were accepted, were rejected, apart from 1, which was the worst icon i ever made.. WTH?!) and that the mods were better now!

Im really sorry for the majorly long post, but im pretty upset that what I was told to be a good icon, was rejected a few days after acceptance. And you know what.. its put me off createblog again. Im sick of it. Most people who randomly browse createblog, just want a nice icon and whatnot. I remember when I first found it and I knew nothing about graphic, I didnt even notice the quality..!
Createblog just seems to be one big competition between designers now. Even some of the most favourite graphics arent the best quality in the world.. doesnt this tell you something?

Kudos to anyone who reads this, and again, sorry for the majorly long post, but I just need to vent my anger.

Graphic mods: I do respect the work you do..and that it takes time to go through all submisions, but if its not good enough.. why accept it in the first place..? You obviously didnt see any problem when you accepted it, so obviously the "problem" isnt all that noticeable after all.
