  @pkt brought up a really good point (though I know very little details beyond their response to this thread https://primal.net/e/note1d9ca5vcpyrlhw7npt6mx2p3vh043zfzxfgj68takdnmjy96x94zsnevj5d)

If someone's application is rejected, isn't it within their right to broadcast the contents of their application, and to voice their frustrations with the OpenSats system? 

Again, I don't have all the details here, but I'd think a bit of open criticism, or, ahem, "bitching" as a direct quote from  @NVK, would potentially improve the system by putting a bit of public attention on a failing point of OpenSats? 
 Of course it's within their "right" but it's still poor form, rude and unprofessional  
 on a centralized platform, there is a chance they wouldn't be able to complain about it. luckily, he's free to do so.  
 Demanding of both someone else's time and their money and acting entitled about it is not a "failing" of those being demanded of.

And of course it is their right to say whatever they think, but in my opinion it is of extremely poor character and will only reflect on them, not OpenSats.

Nobody is owed anything, not an explanation, not a thorough analysis of their project. Nothing.  Do you even comprehend how much time and energy it would take to do that? 
 what's the failing point? 
 Hell, I barely even "voiced my frustrations" beyond mentioning that you just don't get any feedback on how to improve. 
 I just reread the post-in-question. Totally with you on that one. https://primal.net/e/note1rf5frvx86d6n99d6sntjsxenjrmgzpm4qht7hzersyx6h87dzryqvnmgud
