I understand that there is an upload feature, but why am I not able to specify which game the cover is for?

I tried to upload Bioshock months ago and I got no type of feedback or reply stating whether or not the cover was accepted.

When you upload a cover, an admin will look at the cover you have made to see if it matches the different criterya, if it pass through that with a succesful result, your cover will be added to the web site. Also, if you havn't seen your cover added, it might be because they havn't even seen it cause I'm preety sure they receive tons of covers daily.

could sometimes just take months as well, since 360 isnt a high priority

Your borderlands cover is still in the pipeline.

360 is rather low on most of the admins priority I think so such covers can take quite a while.

Retro are generally processed faster because those are much more important to preserve(at least to me). ;)

or it could be that their are already 3 bioshock covers?

It could also be that we have over 30GB of pending covers that have been uploaded. That translates to over 4000 covers in queue. We have what, a dozen admins? Yeah, could take some time.

In the big book of cover admining there are written nine tests which one has to take to become a cover admin entity.

Three to prove his strenght!

Three to prove his wits!

Three to prove his compassion!

Those tests are only revelaed to those who are deemed worthy by all existing cover admins!

A yes but I can tell you one thing beforehand. One test involves physical violence and another tight spaces. A yes and there is the "hang him" test.

You have to do a few things:

1. Contribute to the community for an extended period of time
2. Show an eye/skill for cleaning up or approving already "perfect" covers
3. Show your reliability because being an admin means you can add/change covers on the site.

Then you have to be nominated by one of the other gurus/admins.
