As a mod, this isnt exactly a bs reason. We dont want to read ten pages of backstory, you need to find a good balance between info and just way too much detail.

Why rejection outright though? The person obviously knows their stuff but doesn't know how to edit down. Revisions should be enough.

maybe the writing itself was terrible/boring and this was the easiest way to not have to deal with that aspect

Then skim it? Don't reject someone because you don't want to read.

I have a limit to how much wall of text ill endure. Granted ive only ever asked for revisions on such a thing so far but i know of another, dif game mod that did the same and had the player go "i dont know what you mean by shorten it"

BAsically too long DOES exist...

Too long DEFINITELY exists. Back when I modded, I once read a 13 comment long app. And each comment was at the length limit. I still don't know why I put myself through that. I was ready to stab myself in the eyeballs when I was done.

What. No. Just. No. Please tell me they were told to shorten that shit. I think if I ever got an app like that, they'd be getting a revision request that says, "Ain't nobody got time to read this." Because the 13 comment app took the better part of two days… and a lot of that was just trying to get through the massive walls of text.
