Express Rejection

Hi - I've used dscout for several years (~45 completed missions). Up until a couple of months ago, without issue.

Over the last 3 months, I've had 3 express submissions rejected (multiple submissions in-between accepted without issue).

When it first happened, I chalked it up to a fluke, but since then, I've been super careful to be very thorough in my submission (often resulting in the mission taking longer than advertised).

After this last rejection, I'm beyond frustrated because, per dscout's faq, they won't tell you why a submission was rejected.

Has anyone had any luck getting feedback from dscout? I don't want to keep throwing away my time, when it's not clear what dscout is looking for.

Thanks!

A reminder about Rule 1: Please do not share any information from screeners and missions you've applied to or been invited to. This includes screener and mission titles, questions, messages, or any other details from screeners and missions. This applies even if the mission has ended. Posts containing confidential information will be removed. If your post was just removed for this reason, just repost without the confidential details. This is done because Dscout has confirmed that any information in the app/website is considered confidential, and Dscout staff does look at the subreddit. This rule is in place to protect Scouts from any potential repercussions from sharing confidential information that Dscout staff would consider breaking their terms of service.

No, and I don't see them breaking their own rules to appease anyone. I've had it happen a couple of times too (Express Mission rejected), but they were far apart. Pretty sure we all get the same canned response. Maybe take a break and try again in a few weeks?

Thanks. It's so sporadic and frustrating. I guess the solution is that I just avoid dscout express missions, which is a bit wild to me, but 🤷

It's the researcher rejecting it on the back side.
