At the legend of zelda page (http://www.giantbomb.com/legend-of-zelda/62-9/) the timeline is crappy so I recreated that timeline into this image:

caption
caption
And posted it under the original timeline.
I commented that the original timeline maybe could be deleted now.

They emailed me that it was rejected.... no geason given
Wat do you think that the reason was, because I don't want to wait again for 3 days and get rejected.

Well, mods are supposed to tell why they denied submissions. So my guess is that he accidentaly clicked the wrong button, which would fit, since we had the approve and deny button switch spots in out mod tool yesterday.

I'm sorry if your stuff get wrongly rejected.

Since the image queue is next to nothing, it won't take any time at all to get it approved. :D

Really now? I had about 5 that didn't give a reason, surely you guys can't make mistake that often.

I also had an entry rejected with no reason given.  It was a grammar/spelling/punctuation edit (as are nearly all of my edits).  Not to be rude, but I wonder if this particular moderator couldn't find the edit or didn't know that the original was incorrect.  Based on your comment about the wrong button, I'm going to resubmit later today.  Hopefully it will be accepted this time.

I had one rejected without reason too. It was on the "Top Gear Franchise" Page. I realized that it was my fault - someone had uploaded a picture of the top gear TV series logo there, so I assumed that the top gear games were licensed from the TV series, and wrote that as the blurb. It got rejected with no reason, and when I looked at the page the logo had changed to one unrelated to the TV series, so I figured that the games and the TV show must be unrelated. It would have been nice for a moderator to tell me that though, rather than me have to figure it out on my own.

Well, if I'm not mistaken that image is from gametrailers.com? That's from their series of videos detailing the Legend of Zelda stories through the years, and at the end they dissect the timeline. I know there isn't a watermark or anything, but it's likely whoever modded it saw the videos.

The other reason might be that someone already posted the same image. That's the only reason my stuff has been rejected, when someone else's content was approved before mine.

If you put some comments for the moderator I'm sure that'll help.

I always leave comments in the moderator text field.  I know that if I was modding a page, that I would want to know what the person changed.

My submission for a game got rejected with no reason given either. I checked again and the game is not on the site.

I may resubmit it again, they said no game was too obscure. It's a Japanese game but was translated to English, in a similar way to Cave Story.

It got accepted :D
But I got only 1 point !!
That is ridiculous, I worked longer on this than on a small text I got 26 points for !
Maybe they think I just copy/pased this from a other site
And this bold button won't turn off xD

I made the image myself and this is the first and only site I submit it to.

No, that doesn't really sound like a mistake, sounds like a lazy mod.Armar said:

Mods don't decide how much points should be given.

So no matter how much work you put in a image, you always get 1 point?
Can't anything be changed about that system?

Google the logo's: 8 min
Changing background color or shading: 10 min
Placing in the right order and double checking: 8 min
Mixing Seasons and Ages (looks pretty cool :P ) : 4 min
Total : 30 min
This is approximate though, should have set a timer :P
