I sometimes, post and I screw up and it posts my submissions twice. That's not bad is it?

Thanks for clearing that up. I'd love to be a mod but you probably won't read this lol :P.

Cool. By the way, let us know when you're looking for moderators. I'd like to volunteer.

Can we get docked for edits?  Just a few minutes ago I tried uploading three Breath of Fire III screenshots.  Well two uploaded then the 3rd was replaced with a NES screenshot I uploaded earlier.  I assume its a glitch but will the mods ignore this in the approval process and just approve the other two or will they dock points if something is wrong?

I didnt do it on purpose but it looks rather weird in my queue. lol

Sounds great! To reply to the high demand, I would also like seperate forums for each gaming console. That way, it will keep the forums more organised and easier to search.

I'm still lost and confused. Oh well, I guess I'll figure it out eventually.

The FAQ was helpful, thanks kindly.

As much as I'd like to start digging away at the site right now, perhaps I'll reign in my enthusiasm.   (Not that I'd have much to offer outside of doujin soundtrack information.)

I sure wish there was a way to delete a pending submission. I made an embarrassing mistake, and I wish I could save you the time of rejecting it.

Getting the free reign edit powers with 1000 points seems like a pretty big social experiment on the part of Giant Bomb.  And one that assumes a good deal of faith in people and the internet.

The idea of the points system is great, it should encourage people to participate more in the community and take an active interest in the content.

The only concern I have (and one that already seems apparent) is that some people just want to increase their point count for the sake of it.

"I'm unsure letting people do live edits when they get 1000 points. That can be abused, but I guess anything can be. But is that the only thing points will be used for?"
That's a good question and I wouldn't mind knowing the answer myself. I'm sure that the admin could still moderate and control the pages once the 1000 points has been achieved by us regular people. There has to be a system where we can alert the admin and Giantbomb crew to any abuse of power, such as changing Resident Evil 4's details to a Role Playing Driving Simulator. And if it appears as though power has been intentionally abused, there could be a docking of points or rank to 'discourage' such future behaviour

Currently, we can only see Pending Submissions for each user.  There should be a way to view all the Pending Submissions that are queued up for any given article.  Otherwise people may waste their time submitting redundant entries.

thanks for clearing it up I was real worried why some of my submissions were rejected but I can see I "borrowed from wiki" Sorry for wasting your time guys. I'll produce my own overviews now.

I really like this idea, it keeps your community happy (you don't want an angry mob).

Good to know. One question though; If an accepted picture gets removed from your personal images page/gallery, will it be removed from the Wiki as well?
