Soft Rejection still exist?

In the FAQ, there is an explanation of a Soft Rejection. Does that still exist?

A T20 photographer forgot to attach a model release and therefore had several photos rejected. But they were listed as a Hard Rejection. I was thinking something like that would be a Soft Rejection where the images were acceptable but they were just missing a model release. They were upset because the email said they couldn’t resubmit them. This is someone who has 1000s of high quality images and was a top seller on T20, so I am pretty sure the model release is the only issue.

Should he resubmit with a model release attached?
Is there still a Soft Rejection as explained in the FAQ??

Thanks!

if it is too close to your article to approve it this means soft rejection.
For example:
a sentence for there you need (a comma) something like that.

Surely a cleaning touch up for something… I don’t see your photo or image
resubmit your article.

My question is about forgetting to attach a model release to a photo really being a reason for a hard rejection vs a soft rejection. I’m not sure what your response about a missing comma means.
