Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Speaker of the House of Commons, rather than the Government or Parliament as a whole, is responsible for maintaining order in the House of Commons chamber.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
