So, I've been including them in my uploads recently (under the "we'll accept any old sh1te" regime) given that RPI, even at 20% of what it was, is still not too bad (relatively speaking). More than doubled my port (which isn't saying much) in the last few weeks with no image quality rejects. However, I have had one rejected for model release and have a half dozen sitting there pending model release (all 3d renders). I had a polite reply from contributor relations who obviously completely missed the point I was making and no response on the subsequent clarification.
Seems that model releases are a jpeg - should I just upload a jpeg with "this isn't a real person"?

I would guess it's an issue with rendering program and 3d models not that they think it's a real person bur you can send the rejection to scout with a note about how it was created.
Like you said that would only be the rejected one. You can't Scout unless there is a rejection, so if they're just held pending a release, I'm not sure what you can do.
I have also found that you can't get a re-reply from CR if they have misunderstood your question. Also if your question is in two parts, they only answer one part - which is common with CR people - it must be a faulty way they're trained.

That's another possibility. I've got a couple where I've uploaded a jpeg where I thought they might expect a release but none was needed. In fact, onw which was a recurring problem (some acceptances some rejections), I got an official email confirming no release is needed and copied the text into PS to make a jpeg from. Then in the description, I put a note to the inspector, 'No release needed, see attached jpeg', and upload the jpeg in lieu of a release.
I'm sure I've read that if you make up a vector 'person' up 'from your head', you have to take screenshots of different stages in your work, including a pencil sketch if you do one, and merge them into one big jpeg. I don't know how that actually proves that you made the person up from your head, but apparently that's the hoop you have to jump through. Maybe (?) that would help with a render (?)

Thought initially crossed my mind but (a) no problem with previous or subsequent submissions and (b) images in the same batch where the "models"' faces were covered were accepted so pure reviewer error - I doubt he / she more than glanced at the pics.
Liz,
Thanks - one is a reject so may, for the 1st time ever, try the scout route if only to be a nuisance ;D
Just seen a follow up from CR suggesting the same so happy enough with that bit of the organisation.
