Hello all. I am posting because I am just wondering why some of my covers are not approved for the main site. Since the site was fixed, I am attacking my backlog of covers and noticed only a handful have gotten approved. I know the site has a high quality standard, and that my covers are far from perfect, but I have never had problems with the quality of my scans before. I scan them all at 600 DPI and make sure their quality is suitable for printing purposes. Below I have attached the covers I noticed have not been accepted. Thank for the response and input on my covers.

Well that’s strange.
The vast majority of those I definitely haven’t seen in the queue.
A couple seem to have been accepted, but the thumbnails are not there (far Ry for example)
And I specifically remember accepting Borderlands.

All would have been accepted as raw scans.  For future scans, if you have a de screen option in the scan settings it would improve things even further.

Can you re-upload a few of them, and post here.  I am pretty sure they haven’t been rejected.

I have gone ahead and re-uploaded all the Xbox Series X games from above as a sample. Like you said, some of them can be downloaded and not generate a thumbnail. I've noticed for these, the download link only appears when clicking on the title from the [New] tab and not the alphabetical tab (Far Cry for example brings up a link in [New] but not in [F].

I will also look into a scanning software that has a descreen option, as the software I use does not have that feature.

So I noticed that my Series X covers were approved and decided to upload the rest. I did them in batches and after today’s uploads, I see that all but 2 inlays were rejected. Just wondering if the covers are acceptable or not since I was told they’d be accepted

That was me. I was following old quality standards to which none would have been accepted.

Since my recent return I found out that we are accepting these since we no longer have a raw scan section and they can be used as raw scans for others to improve and/or clean.

Bellow are some reasons why these where unacceptable according to the old standards.
- Wrong size and/or DPI
- Pixel scattering specially around text (I recommend you use descreen when scanning, even on raw scans)
- Dirt or speckles of dust thought the cover
- Worn-out sections (specially around the edges of the covers)

My apologies for my confusion.
If you have nothing to do... Don't do it here!

No worries, thank you for the clarification! I do try to have high quality scans but don’t have great equipment or a lot of time to touch of the covers. I also like posting on the main site because I know the general public tends to only check the main site and don’t really look through the forums when looking for covers.
