Have been scanning and capturing various items to submit to MobyGames. I find their volunteer approval people extremely inconsistent which, as far as I am concerned, means the whole MobyGames approval process has no standardized approval criteria. An example would be that I submitted numerous games and cover art with no issues at all and they all got approved rather swiftly. Then one title was sent back for using a description that the approver claims was longer used at MobyGames when in fact I had just received approval for numerous titles with the same descriptor. Or when I took screenshots of certain DOS titles of mine and enlarged them to 1024x768 because 640x480 is so tiny on modern screens you can barely see it. First couple of title screenshots I submitted at 1024x768 were approved no problem, but the latest title was completely rejected due to the approver saying that is not a native DOS resolution and is not accepted even though that is completely untrue since my other titles were accepted with the same resolution. Like I said, to not allow enlarged screenshots is idiocy since 640x480 is basically useless on large high resolution screens. So I finally have given up and have withdrawn my rarer titles that MobyGames does not have in their games database as their volunteer approvers make it a painful experience.
Anyone else who contributes to MobyGames run into this and find it frustrating that one approver has a completely different set of rules than the next?
