BoXXI, you mentioned that admins can't tell the difference between new skins and updated skins.
To me, this is a glaring problem that needs fixing. If the updates are in a separate que the moderator could basically rubberstamp it since an earlier version had already been approved. This would allow updated skins to go up much faster than the 1-3 day current wait. This would possibly also lighten the admin workload. While this system has a small potential for abuse, I doubt it would occur much (if at all) on this site.

It's simple enough to distinguish between a new skin and an updated one. The new skin will be in the queue with a '0' rating and '0' downloads. An updated one will have a finite rating already, and most likely 'some' downloads.
The rating 'shouldn't' change simply through updating the skin except for two possible reasons.
1. the skinner has abused the updating process to get his work 'seen' and the Admins have noticed, perhaps penalizing the rating, or at least letting the skin fester in the upload section 'for a while'.
or
2. Simply because the skin is back in public prominence, it has attracted further people to rate it and this has modified the score.
The latter is the more likely...
