Sometimes I can't stand the hypocrisy and double standards of this website.

I would say the scans need some color correction (http://www.thestrong.org/online-collections/images/Z003/Z00305/Z0030531.jpg). But I do not see that much wrong with the cover, if that is what you are referring too.

I think this is something that i told to Arseen more or less two month ago. I will wait to till segamer tell what happen to see if it's the same thing

I couldn't do much more without completely washing out the pics and loosing any definition

First off, I believe in having good placeholder when a cover has yet to be made or until a cover that meets site standards is made. However, what bugs me is that some cover admins only spend the time to post their own work and then their own work doesn't meet site standards. My work is created for the Cover Project with love but it's upsetting when Retrogamecases is using my covers but not the cover project.
What on the cover doesn't meet site standards? The screenshots? I'm sorry but replacing all of the screenshots is not something everyone can do and would be the most time-consuming part of the process, nor do I think it;s necessary unless the screens on the cover are to damaged to fix.
If that is the case, I will never post another NES cover again and you guys can just sit here and circle jerk to the three or four covers that may come about.

It's the same thing i told, i knew this would be a problem some day

I guess it takes less time to add a cover he made vs. a cover someone else made because he does not have to look it over and fix small things or what not, I'm not sure how long it takes to add a cover to the archive, but I would assume not much. To shift through the big pile of uploaded covers, and check through every single one for accuracy, takes much longer. Some of your covers are in the archives.
That reminds me . . .

This works fine, why is it in the broken file section?
On the quality part, I think that one, minus the color being slightly off, looks fine.
Some of the SNES ones you made could use a bit of a tune up, I did some fixes to you Taz Mania cover. (https://app.box.com/s/gtli3d0rdzgdm5w3fnny) Mostly With the SNES logo and Seals, the Contrast and moire and needed a bit of fixing too, and the copyright info looks to be in the wrong place compared to images from GameFAQ, I did not fix that in my cover.
Others look fine, minus Seal and SNES Grey Logo. I can give you better quality Seal Of Quality and Grey Box if you want it.

I havent been here for long, but i have also noticed the fact that there is something wrong with either the admins, the standards or the policy. People like Segamer and Coelho etc. are putting alot of work in doing covers AND they are sometimes 100x better than the current ones. if the standards are so high, why are the poor quality ones still kept in the open ???. I think people would like better quality over some minor label differences etc.
I for one think that even a slight update on a cover is a good reason to update it in the collection for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks for your input. Always a good idea to get on the Cover Admin's case inside your first 20 posts...

True but is disapointing when some of the cover makers here are waiting months without seeing their covers beeing uploaded and admis upload theirs faster.
one example is that one admin had a request one day and next day the cover was made, uploaded to the site and link posted to the person that requested that cover, and he say " i just made this cover and uploaded to the site", i don't think is good to others see how their covers are "forget" even though the covers are good, while admins covers are uploaded in a day. not complaining on the quality of each cover is the way you upload your covers vs other people covers.
i had told this because i knew this one day would be a problem, not to me because i don't make covers but to all of those people that make them, made my opinion via PM because i thought that way would be less caotic

Here comes the post count police.. like they mean something. why not put up some rules that say you cant say what you feel if you have low post count.

Oh cool then. Brb *runs off to post random crap and trolling on low post guys* (what you are currently doing?)

I can't remember who needed this but here it is.

Thank you.
One off from the ever growing list
It's always good to see new covers being upload or the old covers beeing replaiced by new ones, the more covers the site has it's much better for all of us, each and every one, but it has to be fair ;)

Eihän tuossa ole kyllä mitään järkeä että koittaa ensin asiallisesti sanoa oman asiansa niin heti ruvetaan vittuilemaan että "onpas pienet postaus määrät, sinun mielipiteelläsi ei ole väliä" ? Kovin on ystävällinen asenne täällä :)
Sorry for Finnish reply.

I think he meant it's not adviced to attack on of the leading Admins so soon.

Would you walk into a strangers house and tell them what you thought was wrong with their home? Of course you wouldn't (hopefully). It's rude, intrusive and coming from someone so new it's also rather ignorant.
Same principle applies here.
-
Except we can kill you for walking into our homes.
Unitedians need not to point out that they can do that too... ;)

Except this is an internet forum, you cant really compare. And also in a way these are products, so in fact i can comment on their quality and their providers/makers... (its like you are saying "you cant go to art gallery and say anything about the art or the working staff, BUT if you have gone there many times then you can say something" same applies to any service or products or community) in this case i think you are some what ignorant.
Anyways, what i was trying to say that it's really sad that some people do hard work doing these covers (with really minor flaws) only to be told its not up to the standard, while they might technically be many times better than the current one. Why turn it down and keep the old bad quality one?.
And i should have said i have been a registered user for so little time. Anyways it seems to be pointless to discuss this. sorry for my english, not really good at it.

Your English is fine.
The reason I'm going after you is pretty simple. This argument happens every few months, it dosnt need people who are completely uninvolved sticking their noses in. Particularly people who have only been paying attention for a few months.
Fuck, I used to think Tik was pretty harsh on some people here, now I'm thinking he has the exact attitude we need.

Locking this topic for just tiny bit.
-
Opened the NES topic again, just needed to separate this stuff from that topic.
-
Good move. Now we can have another thread about the same old shit! These are getting to be about as useful as the eBay case seller threads.

Some covers just don't scan well. It looks like moire/grain, but it's to do with the print quality on the original paper. I think that concessions on our usual standards should be made on those covers, otherwise we'll never have a cover for it hosted.
I also think that shit covers should be replaced with less shit covers, even if they aren't perfect.
I don't think dity unfinished covers should be hosted if we don't already have shit in the database for it.
Lastly I don't think that people who aren't involved in the quality process should mouth off about it (I don't include talented artists in this - they DO have a say in the quality).
New admins (I say new,......) still don't have access to the upload queue, so it's still a bit of a 2 man band adding covers, which is why there is still a huge backlog, and admins usually add their own covers first. I would put money on the fact that a lot of segments and coelho's cover will be added, but I would also wager that many won't. If you want a site where everything is upped and hosted regardless, then off you trot to covergalaxy or cdcover.cc - if you came here for , and enjoy the quality of the covers, shut the fuck up about everything not being added, and be patient.
-
Yep, but once I bother to find one of the other topics relating to this I can merge them.
And once next pops up I or some other mod can merge it the mega topic and so on.
Main thing is that this stuff does not mess other topics, and deleting this outright would be impolite and would cause more trouble.

This.
I too am still waiting to get access to que (that is if I ever get it), if not to add to the site until I've proven myself, but at least to shift thru the que to point out to the artist what need to be bettered to the cover to be approved.
And it's Segamer BTW, no need to insult him more by calling him segment :P

Lol. Predictive text.

I remember sticking my nose into a discussion like this a few months back :P

Frandom fact to kinda brighten the mood
Microsoft witched the side the CD and Manual goes in in the Xbox One case. Saw them in Gamestop today. At least they have no eco friendly holes.

Hmm, why?
Anyway i noticed from that picture that they plan on multi disc games as I think those clips on the left are for additional tray.
Or is that the closing mecanism?
-
Thew only thing I'm asking myself is why that thread is in the cover section.
For me it consists of mainly nothing?
As I said many times and I feel a little bit like a father telling his childs again and again.
Once a person is a cover admin he has the full responsibillity of what he posts and what not.
I mean he is kinda like a little god. And who would question a god?

These whole turd list of posts was in NES case art -topic so I separated these messages from it, but then forgot to relocate the separated topic.
I didn't delete the topic outright before it has run it's course as it most likely would have sprung new even more assholic topic.
Yes this topic is pointless.
I'll delete it after it has quieted down.
