Well heres the deal. The get over ran with LAca submissions and they dont even review or look at most(i got this from talking to some reviewers) since there are so many. Your militia didnt look that great. I have no clue what 550 your talking about.

I've submitted my Splinter Cell pack with each new update of it yet it still isn't in the archives -- And you guys say that you're running low on submittions >

We don't respond well to people who are impatient about getting their stuff reviewed. Also, we have lots and lots of CT replacements as it is so we're on the look-out for replacements for less common things, like most SMGs, MP5 aside.

The models that get reviewed are the ones that the SOTD team members choose to review, so usually it is something that tickles their fancy. Most of the time however, good models are snatched up by the first reviewer who can get his dirty little paws on it because we all hate reviewing junk. Sometimes there are good ones that don't get reviewed mainly because, as Flakman said, there have been too many of that type reviewed lately, such as CT models.



We don't review things based on who made it either. If it's good, you'll see it soon enough. We could care less who the hell modelled, skinned, or compiled it as long as the product is good.



To be honest, there has been a serious lack of quality models lately. We've mostly been getting craploads of LAca reskins and recolors (heaven forbid) and other junk hacks.



Actually just recently someone deleted a lot of the new submissions, so we barely have two pages of submissions at the moment, so if you guys are really champing at the bit to see your stuff get reviewed, you might have to resubmit.

[-:Nighthawk:-]

There are a variety of reasons we run low on submissions:



1) We have a new SOTD every single day. That's roughly 30 models every month that we have to maintain just to break even.



2) On top of this, we're trying to do skin updates such as this one, with models that aren't quite worthy of the honor of being the skin of the day, but still have something unique or cool about them. Sometimes they're flawed in one way or another, but at very least it give people a chance to try them out, and if you're inspired by the model, you can always try to improve it and resubmit it to us.



3) We still are getting a fair number of models that are not CS1.6 compatible. All of these get deleted immediately. This includes older player models and weapons alike.



4) We get lots of incomplete packages. A .zip file with a v_ model all by itself is going to get deleted, even if it's kind of cool. Why? Because it sucks to get incomplete models and lose your consistency. Find those w_ and p_ models people!



5) Over-abundance of models. For a while we had something like 40-50 packs of player model submissions, and while you can find a few that stand out... the rest just blend together into an uninteresting blur. The LAca situation pointed out above is very, very true.



6) Some models just suck. Maybe it's horrible animations, maybe it's a terribly misaligned texture... if several reviewers hate a model, it gets toasted with no more questions asked.



Feel free to contact me via email if you have any questions about a model you've submitted. It may take me a few days to get back to you, and I may ask later for you to just email the model to me if it's already been deleted, but I will let you know why it hasn't been reviewed.



Just don't spam me with emails every day starting with the morning after you submitted the model in the first place. :P

Alternately, you could just look in the archives and find it yourself.
