- - Rejected upload (https://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21045)

Today I uploaded my compilation of addons and it got rejected/deleted. I'm not here to whine about that part, it's your website and you decide what comes on here and not ;) I'm just curious about the reason, so I can work on it for the future.

Thanks in advance.

Some things to think about ...

- Does it contain an addon that the author/developer prohibits from being used without his/her permission??

- Does it contain any unauthorized files like .exe ??

- Is it in .zip format? I believe that's the only format allowed anyway. Not to sure if .rar or .7z is allowed here.

Hopefully this can help until you get official word as to why.

Nightspirit - I did not take care of your compilation, but check your PM's. Any time we reject an upload, we send a PM stating why and how it can be fixed.

Oops... that might be it. Thanks!

I wish that was true (Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 0.)

Gonan try to fix it with Franks idea ;)

That was one of the things I forgot to mention.

I believe Wowmatrix adds some file to your addon folders. Not too sure don't use it and never will.

WoWMatrix's use is pretty much frowned upon here for many reasons. As you can read here.

Actually, no, we don't always send a PM. If it is a brand new upload to the site and it has one (or more) of the "big three" problems (most often compilations are guilty of them), we don't necessarily send a PM on the first rejection. If the uploader resubmits it with the same errors, we're more likely to send a PM. Existing projects on the site will get a PM every time because their project isn't getting deleted outright, it is being put on hold until they correct it.

All you had to do was remove them and resubmit it and it would be accepted and approved with no problem.
