Description

In Member Submission the member who submitted can appeal a rejection.

But should it be possible for anyone else to appeal? And if a submission is accepted that other members see as problematic, should it be possible to appeal acceptance?

(These are 'cleaning up loose ends' questions, I am not aware of current or past problems)
