Submitting a goof, rejected twice, what am I doin wrong?

New member, submitted and edited goof submission 2 times.

Don't want to try again until I know what is wrong with my submissions.

Found and read the guidelines, and think I met the requirements.

250102-011415-786000

-first try

250107-041534-34800

-second try, fixed timestamp and shortened post.

Was it rejected because of my comments at the bottom? Is the timestamp still wrong, or since I had it in two lines and it posted it as one line with no space at the period?

Is it just poorly written?

TIA

Hello troubleshooter,

I have checked on the submissions and we do not allow Personal opinions on the Good section as we show in our Goof Guidelines:

"Personal opinion: Do not include your own opinions, and try not to use subjective descriptions ("in this great movie...", "Chaplin's superbly comic performance...", etc)."

AH... Thank You, I didn't even think of that.
(I was focused on punctuation and details, not the elephant in the room, THANKS!)

I will fix it.

[how do I make the timestamps appear on two lines? And is that preferable?]
I entered it as two lines, but it ran them together with no space between them...

TLDR:
I knew not to comment on the movie, but it didn't occur to me that commenting on the error specifically, was, of course, an opinion also!
Even then, I avoided subjective remarks like "not noticeable', or "it ruined it".  Just my objective thought of how the goof occurred...
But I get it:
To paraphrase Sgt. Joe Friday; "Just the Facts, Ma'am..."
