Okay so your item is uploaded, but you got a message saying your item was rejected?  What does this mean? Well, we base our rejections on ''your'' presentation of the upload and rest assured that we check each and every upload individually whether you are an existing featured creator or a new starter.

If an upload is rejected, you get a Private Message in your Inbox on MTS with a rubric that lists specifically why the upload was rejected. Each item is broken down by category, and explains why your upload received that rating that it did. Maybe it's too high a poly count, maybe it has lots of pay items, maybe it doesn't comply with a lot of these Creator Guidelines.  Obviously, the specific reasons change from item to item, but sometimes there can be multiple reasons for rejection.  Pay attention to all of them and read the ''entire'' rubric in the PM!  Pay attention to the moderators comments, as they will often clarify the reasons for a low rating/rejection.

The upload process on MTS usually follows a number of steps, during some of which you recieve automatic PMs. With the new and improved upload system, all uploads are moderated based on a rubric for various (appropriate) categories. For a specific list of what is expected for a specific category of upload, see the Creator Guidelines. In general, an "approvable upload" typically is one that scores a minimum of three stars per category.
