A Note on Submissions & Moderation
Thursday, September 14, 2006 by Zoomba | Discussion: GUI Championships News
We've been accepting submissions for roughly 2 days now, and some of you have begun emailing me or chatting with me on IRC asking why your submission isn't on the website yet. Was there an error? Did the submission not meet the rules and was rejected? I just want to reassure everyone that if you have not received an email saying your submission was rejected (with a provided reason), then it is still in the submission queue awaiting moderation.
The reason there is the lag time between submitting and an entry being approved is that we have to verify that entries meet the requirements. So each and every submission needs to be checked for proper file formats, to make sure that wallpapers have the right resolutions included, that WindowBlinds and Icons actually load and run properly etc. This takes a fairly significant amount of time and submissions tend to pile up as we work through the queue.
We ask that you be patient as you submit your work. We will get to it, it just may not be immediate.

We knew there would be a lot of wallpapers because the relative time required is much different versus an Icon Pack or a Skin. I've learned a lot this year from the wallpaper category specifically that will be incorporated into future competitions.
