Videos accepted/rejected criteria?

Question: I submitted my latest movie here to Warcraftmovies.com and was absolutely FLOORED when I was told:
---------------------------
The movie you submitted was not approved because:
The content quality of the movie that you submitted was not high enough for us to host it.

---------------------------

I've spoken with a few other WoW video makers (here offline and elsewhere) and they're similarly at a loss and recommended I post a link and ask for feeback/advice here.

Here's the video in question.
http://www.xsquared.ca/romily/revenge.htm

It's doing well with folks who've seen it (albeit the credits segment is long - but only counts for a very small portion of the file size) but, having posted my first video here over two years ago, I'm trying to stay loyal and keep all my WoW work here now that I'm back to creating machinima. I'm at a complete loss. Thoughts?

EDIT: Just to clarify - I'm not here to cry or whine. This was a HUGE slap in the face. While my face is still stinging, I just want to understand why; to know what I did wrong (or maybe there was some mistake somehow). I don't want this to happen again.

Comparing with the average crop on this site (non-edited PvP with Rammstein or Linkin Park music), I completly fails to see how this can get rejected for lack of "content quality" (now whatever that means). I've seen a movie of a guy walking up a hill (instead of wallwalking) with so poor quality you can barely see what's going on and a song with lyrics such as "Put your ass up in the air, like you just don't care". Or how about the "Fanatik and MysticZ - Trailer" which got a recommendation when it had more text than footage?

Well, to be honest, I believe this must be a mistake. WCM gets loads of new movies everyday, that the moderators have to go through, and it's not unlikely that the moderator mistook your movie with another one and accidently rejected the wrong movie.

I don't say this is among the better movies of this site, but it's definetly not among the worst.

Now I gotta say the intro was pretty cool. But I actually agree with the reject.

even though it had abit of a story it's still a instance run through SM which is old content we don't even accept karazhan movies anymore (accept Nightbane) and of course SM we don't show anymore

So it's pretty much "Old Content"

Well that makes alot more sense than that the "quality" would be lacking.
Seems you guys have become stricter with your moderation, which I find as a positive thing since it will help the overall quality of the site.

thats kinda werid. I don't think its a bug or glitch though sometimes when your disproveing movies there could be many errors and you have to pick one Unless you do a custom reason.

Well. I watched the movie. It was a good start of the movie, but as the rest clearly was just some cleaning of SM it felt kind of lame. What the movie is really about feels more like a SM run then actually something entertaining. Also the credits was like 50% of the movie.

Altho I've seen much worse I do still believe it shouldn't be accepted. It's clearly lacking in content, it's just a SM run with some talk in the beginning and 3 minutes (no, I didn't count) credits.

Sorry if I sounded harsh, but u still need to improve and make a movie with some nice content. The start was good anyways.
