There were a few sets released recently that I think are straight up bad. Poorly lit, posed, framed, blurry etc. I was wondering if SG ever rejects sets. Does anyone know? I'm not going to name any names, but if you take a peek in member review you'll be able to spot them pretty easily. They look like they were taken with camera phones that were manufactured 5 years ago. . It's particularly frustrating to me, because I submit sets a lot that have photos cut from them, yet poorly shot sets that I don't feel are up to snuff go right into the queue. I think these poorly shots sets really hurt the SG brand. There needs to be more quality control here. And if they're going to use editorial judgment to cut photos from the sets that they feel are too graphic then I think they also need to use that same judgement to not accept sets that are just not good enough. I know these sets will never get bought and become set of the day, but it just diminishes the experience as a whole having them in the queue with all the other beautifully shot photos. Thoughts?

I've seen the same thing fairly recently on a few sets. Beautiful girl but saddled with extremely poor photography (ISO stuck at 6400, poor focus, no focus at all). I try to make it a point to compliment the hopeful who's been stuck with that set but still make liberal use of that "not for me" button. I'm not really sure how SG judges their metrics but I firmly believe they should be more discerning with what they consider passable photography. I have a feeling doing so would also shrink the queue down to just a few months.
