Without going into specifics (as there is no request for a detailed critique) the wallpaper in question here was not rejected for it's XP content (though that didn't help).

Crae - thanks for the link to Shoggot's famous moderation rant. It's hard to think of a better term to use for a rejection on aesthetic evaluation than 'moderated'. I assume it's use hasn't been copyrighted by thirty4i.

Overall, my impression is that it's not that hard to get a wallpaper in here. I wish time would allow us to write a full critique with each moderation email notice but sadly it's just not possible. As long as people know we take it seriously and it's not a flippant or casual assesment.
