The My Correction page says:

All protested decisions go directly to the administrator for review. He is a very busy person and does not have time to review every single rejection, so please make certain that you are correct before you protest a decision.

Doesn't that kinda contradict itself? All protested decisions go to the administrator, who won't review all decisions.

It's not a contradiction, here's why:
He does not have time to view every single REJECTION. He does (but just barely) have time to review PROTESTED rejections. It's basically an appeal to not protest every single time your correction is rejected. I see where confusion could arise in the wording though. Thanks for allowing for clarification!
