When there is an inconsistency in reviews is it acceptable to ask the review to reconsider?  I've already done this (asked for reconsideration) and I'm not sure if I'm getting myself a bad reputation...
 
I recently completed two series of cards for Grandparents Day, one for Grandmother and one for Grandfather, with all sorts of variations of terms for both on the front of the card.  On the Grandmother cards all of the variations were approved, but the reviewer (a different reviewer) of the Grandfather cards declined a bunch of them saying the front was too similar since all of the terms meant the same thing.  
 
The note from the reviewer that declined the cards sounded a bit stern and angry to me, so I'm not sure if I should push my luck.  But then again, I don't want to miss an opportunity to sell a card because PopPop made it but Gramps didn't.

I have disagreed with reviewers even on categories, and I just point out why I wanted a card put in that category and like you said to reconsider.  
Sometimes it works, sometimes...I have to consider their point of view.  
There are so many nick names for grandparents these days, when you get right down to it...they all mean the same thing, One persons Gramps is another persons Papa...so I do not think asking the reviewer to reconsider is out of the norm.    
Good Luck! Janet Lee

Hi Rita,
 
I doubt that the reviewer was stern or angry...probably just pooped    Considering the number of cards and emails they deal with every day, I imagine that on occasion they may come across a bit testy, but it is never personal...they just need to be fed  
 
I often email back and forth with the reviewer until one of us sees the other point of view and we can move forward.  Most of the time I lose, but I am always listened to and I willingly concede to those who know more than I do about such matters.
 
As long as you are cordial and open to discussing your thoughts without attitude (as I KNOW you are based on all your posts on the forum) go ahead and inquire...they don't bite

Exactly!  You can have up to 3 of the same or nearly same as long as they are not in the same category...
 
So where we have broken out a subcategory for different name variations you can put up to 3 in EACH.  Where there is only 1 catch all category you are limited to 3 TOTAL.

Specifically #5 Wording Variations:
5. Wording Variations meaning essentially the same thing using the same image/art will be limited to 3 times when in the same category.  For example: Friend, Buddy, Pal, My Bud, Ole' Partner, BFF, Best Friend, etc.  Only 3 of these would be allowed as they would all go into the same subcategory >> For Friend.  HOWEVER if subcategories exist for any of these specific terms it is an exception to the rule.  For example: If there are subcategories for >> For Best Friend and >> For Friend then "BFF" and "Best Friend" are allowed in >> For Best Friend AND 3 others can go into >> For Friend.  
 
Another similar example: Mom, Mommy, Mother, Mama, Mum, Mummy.  Only 3 of these would be allowed as they would all go into the same subcategory >> From Mom / Mother.  HOWEVER if subcategories exist for any of these specific terms it is an exception to the rule.  For example: If there are subcategories >> For Mum and >> For Mom / Mother then "Mum" and "Mummy" are allowed in >> For Mum AND 3 others can go into >> For Mom / Mother.  
 
And YES, please feel free to reply to the card review emails and ask for clarification or reconsideration.  It is the best way to communicate with the review team and will help us clear up issues of inconsistency.
 
Hope that helps!
