Collection of new rejection reasons

General Discussion
1

Hi all :woman_raising_hand:t2:

We’ve recognized something new on rejected nominations.
We’ve asked for more detailed reasons for a long time, so we appreciate the improvements.
As long as we’re unfamiliar with this change it could be hard to give good advice here on the forum and sometimes it seems that the reasons don’t fit.

This is a community wanted post to collect the new reasons.

I’ve created a second post HERE to discuss that, so please try to keep this one focussed on examples of new seen rejection reasons.

Thanks :hugs:
