declined Connections for The Mothers-In-Law (1967)

I have submitted 3 Movie Connection entries for The Mothers-In-Law (1967) TV series, and all have been declined, but it is not in any way obvious to me what the problem is.  I submitted ones for Seinfeld and The Greatest American Hero and they were accepted.  What is wrong with The Mothers-In-Law submissions? Additionally, why do we not get e-mail notification when our submission is declined.  Or, at the very least, why doesn't our submission history easily show which ones were declined?  The only way to find out is to click on them one by one to check their status.  The status field should appear on the main history page. I've seen other people complaining about Movie Connection submissions that were rejected, and in the reports I checked, someone went back and reviewed them and resubmitted them, saying they were incorrectly rejected.  Perhaps that's the case here.  If so, what or who is continually incorrectly rejecting these submissions? Here are mine which were rejected: 241118-173248-200000 Reason: Unable to verify. 241224-141314-247000 Reason: Does not meet contribution guidelines. 250103-190032-674000 Reason: Does not meet contribution guidelines.

Thank you Maya!  Could you explain why they were initially rejected?

@jbmorris​ Your welcome!  These were processing errors which have already been reported.

Thank you for taking care of my previous contributions!  Now I'm trying to figure out if my submission #250116-033003-873000 was declined erroneously for the same reason, or if it was correctly declined and should be submitted as trivia instead.  I had added this note with the submission: "I'm not sure if this is best entered as Trivia or Movie Connection. I was going to do Trivia, but it said it looked like I was trying to enter a Movie Connection and suggested I do that instead. If you think it belongs in Trivia PLMK." As always though, I got no reply to my comment, but was just told "Does not meet contribution guidelines."  Are the people who approve or decline submissions not allowed to respond to our comments?  It would be better if they could provide better explanations, especially since I asked a question with my comment.

Thanks again!  Was this another of the same processing errors mentioned before?  If so do you have an estimate of when that reported situation will be permanently resolved?  Should I refrain from entering more connections until this issue is fixed so I don't have to keep bothering you to resubmit them?

@jbmorris​ Your welcome! Yes, this was a processing error.  I encourage you to continue to submit them. I understand the frustration especially given that you take time and effort, which we truly appreciate. However, don't refrain from doing so. We are here to help as well and while I cannot make any promises of time, I have flagged these processing errors for further review.
