It's not a joke that we won't accept half-assed crap, even to replace half-assed crap uploaded before the current quality standards.
Boards and other sites are for the shit.

If you want your cover to be preserved on the site then do your work better and clean it to the max using pristine raw material.
And the cover would have been accepted by Cover Admins after minor cleaning of the black parts.
On the other hand that cover would have made it here no matter what as Snowcone is the biggest cheese aka dog reversed here and he can upload what ever he wants.
