What's your thoughts on "Unnaceptable in the current standings"?

I would personally argue that this is not a "everyone's a winner" club, and some submissions really are bad and should be rejected. I think the site generally has a pretty good attitude about recognizing work these days and the discussion that I see is usually friendly and respectful. I think the word that is used when a submission gets yeeted* is pretty insignificant compared to the rejection message a judge writes and the feedback that is posted under the submission. Of the choices I've read in the thread, "denied" or "declined" sound best to me. I'd still overall be in favor if just keeping it as it is. *my suggestion

What about the cases where we aren't rejecting a run for optimization, but simply because due to our current rules or our current infrastructure we can't really accept it? Does it really make sense to use "rejected" in such a case? We're at a point where we have a lot of runs on the queue that are delayed because nobody wants to "reject" a run that we ultimately want to at some point or in some way accept. That creates a lot of unnecessary claims and runs on the workbench that are going nowhere and makes it hard to figure out what actually is having work done on it and what isn't. It isn't just about being nicer about it (tho I am definitely in favor of that too), it's also about being accurate to what we actually mean when we don't accept a run.
Split it into two separate classifications. Rejected for movies that will never be published (there is no more accurate term in English than 'rejected'). Deferred is the proper term for something that could be given consideration in the future.
Problem I see with Deferred is that it gives the notion that the rules will change at some point, and the run will become acceptable at some point in the future for sure. We already have 'delayed' for that.
Deferred means that a decision about whether to publish will not be made until some indefinite point in the future. Since no decision has been made, there is no indication either way about whether it will or will not be published. It leaves open the possibility that it could be without promising anything. Delayed is not the same thing. Delayed is used to mean "hold on, don't accept this yet," usually because of a technical or optimization problem that needs investigation.
