Hi guys. I have recently submitted a number of changes and new entries for pinball games. For older games, there are usually no high-res images available and sometimes no decent artwork can be found at all. This makes it nearly impossible to come up with decent background images (I admit that I don't have the artistic skills required for creating nice high-quality artwork from scratch myself; just doing some "Gimp-ing" here and there to clean up stuff or create clear logos from existing art). So basically as background images I uploaded images of pinball machines, generic ones, not visibly relating to any game in particular (like close-ups of ramps or bumpers - see example attached) so as to remain in line with the genre of the game. I see that some moderators accept them and others not (seems to be 50/50 right now). In the moderator guidelines, point 11 states that "fanart must be directly related to the game". As I am also moderating myself, I would like to have your point of view on this. Are such images uploaded as "fanart" acceptable - in the absence of art directly relating to the game itself - or not? By the way, I would also suggest to add the genre "Pinball". Pinball games cannot be easily categorised with the values currently available.

Hi guys. New moderator here and first time contributing on the forum. A quick message to confirm that I encounter the same issue with a game entry being "stuck" in my moderation queue. Actually from what I see it seems to happen when a person submitted a new game entry without indicating the game title. I am trying to reject it but then I get the "internal server error message". I get this systematically now with 2 entries that I keep skipping for 24 hours. (see attached screen-shots). I hope you will be able to fix this soon.
