Would it be: "I wanted 14 files in the queue, not 13" (now that would be truly whining)? How about: "I see nothing wrong with this, and as an expert stepfile author, my opinion should be recognized" (us newbies sure can't say that)? Also, what if it was: "this truly defeats any creativity as such a myopic, tight-ended judging system only promotes conformity" (legitimate, but far from what I'd say if my file got rejected)?

"This truly defeats any creativity as such a myopic, tight-ended judging system only promotes conformity."
If you actually read what I've said, you'll notice this is my exact complaint.

Really, you stepfiling pros don't want our subpar works adulterating your immaculate song pool; it's just a waste of Tass's and Shash's time (as all those files will be rejected anyways) and a very unnecessary prolonging of the already delayed updates to the song queue.

This statement is founded on the entirely fallacious grounds that people will not improve. As such an assumption is clearly in error, your argument holds little meaning.

Clearly there is no room for newbie files in the queue. However, and this is the point you seem to be missing time and time again, if a newb submits enough files, he gains experience, and is not a newb anymore! Now, his files start to get accepted! Amazing!
