At least as far as I understood it.
To avoid such wrong interpretations for the next GSoCs, I'll cite Google's explaination: | The Ineligible Link | Before any application has been scored, there will be a link on the | application page to mark the application "Ineligible." Clicking the | "Ineligible" link gives the application a score of -10 and drops it | to the bottom of the application list. Use the "Ineligible" link only | for applications that are spam. To be clear, a badly written | application is not ineligible, it should simply receive bad scores, | e.g. -2. Proposals that are copied directly from an organization's | Ideas list are not ineligible, they are just poorly written and | should be scored accordingly. An example of an Ineligible application | would be one in which the student simply states "I like to program, | can I work with you guys?" but does not provide a project proposal | for a project. The most important sentence of this paragraph is: | Use the "Ineligible" link only for applications that are spam.
