It is being rejected because of taboo, and the quality of my role-play is sufficient

This is somewhat off-topic for the subject of this thread, but since you brought it up, here's some food for thought:

Maybe your requests weren't rejected "because of taboo, despite having sufficient roleplay", but were actually rejected because "your roleplay was not actually sufficient for breaking those taboos". There are a handful of SRPs, mostly older ones, which in one way or another broke a "taboo" in their own time with exceptional effort and originality put into them. I've peaked through the backlog of SRP subforum a good few times, and here's one key aspect I've noticed they all share, which your requests have lacked so far: I don't recall any of those SRPs getting the green stamp on their first attempt, and were actually considerably readjusted or even redone for the next repost(s), which clearly shows the players behind those SRPs did not hold to the assumption that their roleplay was sufficient and the only reason they didn't get their approval was because "admins hated them, their faction and their roleplay". That's while of the dozen or so requests you've posted, they've all essentially been a rewrite of the same approach with no actual adjustments made to the direction of the request, and simply the same direction pushed forward through the course of two years or so you've been trying to get a SRP.

Now, if you had actually looked at your own request objectively after the first denial, and had actually taken the input you received into account rather than entirely dismissing it based on assumptions of "hate" and whatnot... Who knows, maybe you could've gotten that Umbrage and played it long enough to get bored of it and drop it before it was even removed from the mod.

Just sayin.
