Rejected Submissions is a thread, found in the Division Lobby that keeps a record of all items submitted to the Speaker in the past that have been deemed inappropriate or unsuitable. Usually the Speaker decides whether or not to reject an item but occasionally, the Community Team may intervene. The thread was set up in May 2013 by then-Speaker Jarred and has been updated when necessary ever since. If members have queries regarding the rejection of an item, they are free to raise them in the Ask the Speaker thread. Not all submissions are rejected straight away - some are only removed if several members raise concerns about them.
As one would expect, members have not been pleased in the past when their submissions have been rejected and sometimes the rejection of submissions can lead to an uproar from the House. The most famous example of this was in November 2016 following the rejection of 2 joke bills created by SoggyCabbages. Members claimed that the then-Speaker Saracen's Fez was being too fussy, and Mobbsy91 and Jammy Duel even suggested proposing a Motion of No Confidence in the Speaker.
