From the FAQ on PSA's website:
Q: Can I request “No Qualifiers” on my submission?
A: You can make this request and it could mean that the original grade may lower. Also, while you may request no qualifiers on your submission, it is up to the discretion of our graders to determine if the qualifier can be removed. The qualifier can not be left off in all instances and no refund will be given if we determine that we can not remove the qualifier.
My understanding is that if the qualifier is egregious, then they can't ignore it simply by demoting the overall grade (eg, a miscut that cuts off part of the card's main image or includes a large proportion of another card, or a strongly visible stamp on the back of a card), but that more subtle ones (eg an OC qualifier) might be able to be avoided by demoting the card's overall grade.
