I recently submitted something that with some searching after the fact I discovered was already here. Is there any way to cancel a submission to save you the time of reading and denying it? (I know the crew is extremely busy right now)
If not I would like to propose adding a way for users to do so.
I pledge to be thoroughly sure something does not exist before I click submit from now on as a precautionary measure.

Are you sure? If there is no way, I think there should be a way.

I don't think there is a way right now, but I agree there really should be an option to do so, I made one stupid submission because I didn't see the game as listed at first but now I can't unsubmit it.

Yeah I got a similar thing where I was too late at spotting a watermark on one of my pics and now I have this fat "disapproved" stamp in my submissions list.

Yes, I think we should be able to pull them. I am hoping they get something implemented soon.

Same here. I was mistakenly looking only at "Major Games" and couldn't find the game I was looking for, so I submitted an entry for a new page; eventually I figured out that it already existed. Hopefully they'll include an option to cancel submissions in the future.

That would be a nice feature because I am sure a bunch of people have already added stuff that they didn't look for or find then find it. This would also help out Jeff, Ryan, Brad, and Vinny because then that would be one less page to moderate in the queue. I am sure it is something that they are planning on adding since the site is in beta.

Agreed, I did the same thing for several games. :\

At this point in time it seems a must have. 20,000 could get a lot smaller.

Yeah, hopefully they are going to add something similar to that soon

I have a few edits I don't really want to go through

Oh yeah, definitely need the option to delete submissions. In the meantime, I guess we've all gotta make extensive use of the advanced search.

Agreed. I added Shivering Isles text for Oblivion. I never searched for it alone, as I don't really think there should be separate pages for expansions.

My problem is that I've added things into the queue that weren't on the site at the time, and then within the span of a few minutes were added by someone else who's sumbission was approved. So now it looks like I'm submitting redundant information when really it wasn't there 40 minutes ago (I swear!).

My problem is the same, its really annoying also there shud be something to indicate that something is under moderation. If that is possible.

I agree, there definitely needs to be a delete or cancel function. It would make the mods' life easier.

I somehow accidentally submitted something twice (sorry mods!), and to my dismay, I couldn't delete the second submission. Though, oddly enough, both submissions were accepted...

I realize I'm a little late responding to this, but maybe it'll help:

Go into your profile, look on the left side, all the way at the bottom to "Pending Subs"...you can delete your yet-to-be-approved subs there.

Hope this helped, again, sorry it's late!
