"I do not know if the mods here are payed or not but...it just takes so little to give a clear reason"
I am not aware that work submitted to Renderosity is juried. The pieces i have here were all uploaded instantly and as far as i could tell, did not go through any sort of manual approval process. In fact, the only other gallery which i know of that DOES have an manual approval process besides Epliogue, is Elfwood, and their ticket queue is constantly backed up by at least 10-15 days (somtimes more). I've never had an Epilogue submission take more than 2 days and that was on a rejection.

And the thing is, Epilogue DOES give a rejection reason AND they've recently added an FAQ that covers in detail what each rejection reason means. Plus there is still the WIP forum where members and editors alike give feedback and input on posted works. How much more should the editors be expected to do? And why should they be expected to do it when a little careful observation and some small effort on the part of the artist to post the image for feedback makes most rejection reasons fairly apparent?

I usually have a good idea before i upload a piece if it has potential problems with it. Usually it's one of those "something's not quite right but i can't put my finger on it" sort of feelings. So when such a piece comes back with an "antomy needs work" tag or an "image looks flat or pasted" tag, that's pretty much all i need to set me in the right direction. And if it's not, i post in the WIP. I don't see that it is the editors job to be my art teacher and tell me the specifics of what i did wrong. Sure it would be nice, but that's not really what they are there for. And despite that fact that their only true requirement as editors is to accept or reject each piece submitted, the editors still take time out to post to the threads of people who need help getting a piece up to par.

Going back to that Rockette example i gave earlier: the pannel of judges that decides who will or won't become a Rockette, does NOT give critques. For that matter, most juried art shows and galleries do NOT give feedback. A simple yes or no is all you get. The way i see it, the Epilogue editors already go way above and beyond their designated duties. To expect them to do more is, in my opinion, asking too much.
