If you want to submit a layout: make sure you have everything spot on, dotted all your i's and crossed every t.
Check and recheck, as when we will check your layout, we will have to do the same, while we do not know what you exactly made, it will cost us similar or more time then you have spend on the layout. And this is BEFORE we integrate the layout, because after a check up we are not done, we will end up having to maintain and support the layout, sometimes costing several full time weeks for a hand full or even a single layout!
So if you did not try to put in your maximum effort, why should we bother to try to implement your layout, if it is much easier for us to create higher quality layouts in less time, which we do not have to triple check, as it will be on a higher level from the get go?
We, like you, have limited time, perform these tasks in our sparse free time, so if you are not providing the very best, your layout has zero to no chance of getting adopted.
Why?
We have more high quality and a bigger variety of layouts that meet a higher set of rules and guidelines then ever before.
We still get negative feedback, because players do not like to spend hours playing anything less then the best and even then may still complain, while polishing to such a level of detail costs us far more (free!) time and effort then an average player actually plays on a specific layout.
The cost benefit ratio is therefor off.
While we have sufficient high quality layouts and a lot of variation (practically every region of the islands are used in one or more layouts), new layouts need to top these to be able to be high quality AND interesting (different) enough to be worth it binning a layout that we invested on hours upon hours to get the everything on par.
This being besides the maximum amount of energy and time we are able to spend on actually maintaining the layouts. Time and energy that goes from anything else we could have done with this time.
So when you have a great idea, guess again, is it? Really? Does it meet all the rules, does it outperform the current layouts on the server, layouts you have seen in the past AND the layouts in the pipeline? Are you willing to spend a lot of hours (days at an end) to make sure this is the layout EVERYONE wants to play and nobody will complain about? Well you are probably wrong, so overthink it again, is it really the best of the best and you know there is not a better layout out there? Does it beat everything you ever played and you played them all? GREAT,... consider actually making it. Else you are probably better of joining the servers and enjoy what is already there, because if it does not get adopted, you may have spend countless hours for nothing and may have wasted many hours for us as well, hours we all could have spend better.
So either offer the best of the best or else..... 
ps: you really made it through this post and still like to spend countless hours maintaining and polishing and you know you have it in you and you seem to like it more and more and it is your life's goal to get every thing spot on and make any EUTW layout the best there is and see fixes and improvements for all and every layout out there? And you are still reading these very small letters,... so you may indeed want to adsorb every detail!? Well,.. you are likely to be either on drugs, may like rejection, or you may be a dedicated tech savvy unicorn (whom still may be on drugs), come out and play!
most of the "High Quality" I've seen in your maps looks like a manifestation of a Salvador Dali painting in Arma. I get it you have a monopoly on the map rotation because you've been left in charge and that shows in the sheer amount of your maps that dont seem to have been vetted by anyone else in EUTW that you've uploaded to the server rotation.
