I understand the position @Jason Carr is in. Managing a complicated program, database, and the bug fix and feature requests of the community is a massive undertaking. I work in a similar enough field to understand that it really is too much work for any one person. Maybe if I came to the party earlier, I would feel differently, but my preference has always been to take all the data and images that I can get and to sort it out later. I have nothing but respect for the entire Launchbox team and will continue to adhere to the guidelines despite my opinion.

I know it's been awhile since the last post here but I have some thoughts I would like to share on this. Right now the official stance is that unofficial releases, homebrew, ROM hacks, mods, etc. are not to be added to the database until a supporting flag system is implemented. After moderating on many of these types of submissions, I believe that this is the wrong choice. Case in point, AM2R. Unless I'm missing something, this should not be allowed in the db; but it's in the db now and if we tried to delete the best Metroid game in years, the community would likely reject the delete or resubmit immediately. People are putting in unpaid effort to bring data and images about the games they love and we are turning them away and telling them to come back later over an arbitrary restriction. If we plan to allow this data once a flagging system is implemented later, why not take the data now and let the community go back and flag those entries once the system is implemented? It's worked before, I believe it can work this time too.

Confirmed. I was able to moderate on one of the "stuck" submissions. Thank you.

Tony Hawk Downhill Jam for PS2 submitted as a new game entry. It looks like the submitter did not include the game title, which may be the reason for the server error. I have tried every option, but the only way thing that works is to skip for 24 hours. If there is not currently a check for completeness before a new game is submitted, it should be added. Also, instead of only be able to reject data/images for inaccuracy, or accepting needed data/images and making notes to go back and correct once it clears moderation, perhaps an option to correct inaccuracies during the submission process that will then restart the moderation count. edit: Clue / Mouse Trap / Perfection / Aggravation 4 Game Pack for Nintendo DS is also missing title data and is causing internal server errors.
