I have meant to respond to this type of statement for a while but i keep getting distracted. As you guys know not all of the NES covers I have converted will meet site standards. Making 750+ NES covers I honestly do not remember which ones are the "bad ones" so they'll have to be rechecked one by one. This is a process I simply do not have enough time to do at the moment.

A simple rule can be established, if it got posted before, it can be posted again or something along those lines. From the covers I personally created, I know which are placeholders and which are not (although, they were created to be the best darn placeholders you've ever seen!). However, standards have changed, many covers may no longer meet site standards. I think senior admins will have to decide the rules.

One of my goals will be to get more scans of my games uploaded. I don't have nearly as much to contribute as some of the other big collectors here, but one area where I think I can really help out is PS1. It's the biggest part of my personal collection, and I would guess that only about 1/3 of my collection has a cover hosted here on the site.

I could go into existing covers and look for errors, removing covers that have things like obvious spelling or grammar problems? I know there's a 'known issues' post, but maybe we could do something a little more direct about errors?

Unfortunately us admins can't remove covers. The best we can do is overwrite existing covers with improved/fixed versions.

Never upload a sub-par cover. There are only the new standards now and old covers should only be replaced with better new ones! No placeholders allowed anymore!
