Someone has been changing the SNES to I guess suit Himself IE: carts to Fanart - Carts - Front

[Randy Morrow]

Why has someone changed all (or most)  the SNES Carts from "Carts - Front"  to "Fanart - Carts - front". When my roomate was adding his snes images he wasn't getting carts and some box art so we went to check SNES sure enough all carts have been moved to Fanart - Carts - Front and alot of EU has been changed to United Kingdom not to mention DUbs of NA and EU Game title screenshots and logos have exact images. is thyis me or is theis the way things are now?  (he doesn't download all images as to save on hard drive space so he doesnt grab IE fanart ) 

He also is actively voting against me when i try and change them im no 99% sure its him because its only 1 vot to reject the rest are accept why would anyone reject when ther is no carts and these clearly are real and also when they get through he just tries to change again and when he looses he just keeps trying hopeing to get those moderators that don't even pay attention to what there modding just accept everything!

Do you have any examples? A few games you've seen this on for example?

these are the first 3 a randomly opened and all carts are in Fanart im talking like 95% out of the 3 i got 100% but i have seen some where there is one but the others are in fanart I think thats because someone noticed no Cart imagesand added new ones also some people are telling me to put eu + NA world tag when there is a Japan relese aswell  for game title screen shot or a logo now this guy is changing thathe is now put a image for NA and EU even if there the same for Gametitles and logos either way on these cases doesnt matter to me which way  i just think we should do it one way its getting very messy.  The  carts in fanart thats just dumb because if you want carts when you scrape for your games you get no carts unless you do fan art for SNES

also he telling us that its been like this for years in SNES and thats not true i scraped my SNES last year and moist carts were there were literly have a conversation thru moderating I put the carts back in Carts - Front And he puts it back and he give me this long reason then obviously others are voting him down but he sometimes gets it through because there are some moderators that don't pay much attention but its getting frustrating and I have been trying to clean up PS1 and addnew image that ar missing and clean it up bad links missing images and such but I want to do it right way so it would be nice to get it straighened out.

This is just wild.  We have enough phenomenal HQ cart, box, whatever else SETS made by the community.  I feel like LBDB (staff, or whomever) should just grab those sets, rename appropriately, and have those as the defaults and then lock it.  Option stuff can be added by the user after that, or given a choice: Default LBDB HQ set (community username contributor) , or Fanart cart random.

After reviewing the images, I can see why a moderator changed the flags. They aren't cart scans they are images made in photo-shop. notice how the cart in the same images is the exact same (like pixel perfect the same). You'd not get that with a scan. I can see your point that sometimes having images that in the front category would be called "reconstructed" in the pure "fanart" section being kinda confusing though since if these are done correctly look like real carts (and I admit the ones on those pages are done well enough I was second guessing myself at first). This is one of those things I believe the mods are actually correct, but the way users perceive the types causes confusion. @AstroBob mentioned early this week he was taking a look at a lot of the moderator guidelines. Pinged him so he can see register this as a potential pinch point moving forward we can look at and potentially address.

This other thing I want to clear up.  See how he has put dubs for the EU and NA Game title Screen Shot (also does it for the clear logos)  I was under the understanding the EU & Na images that are the same should be 1 image with the heading World and i think it should be like the later because he is not taking the Oceania & South America Countries in consideration.  Just want a clarification because I do a bit of Moding of games I believe its better if everyone is doing it one way because he has changed all the SNES games his way and I have told him the majority is doing the other way and he said he doesn't care the way the majority is doing it because there way is  wrong and hes right. I don't care either way I just would like to Know the right way.
