Say hi to MFGG's newest staff member. DJane Coco has been a useful contributor to MFGG for a while and has cranked out some nifty stuff lately. This new promotion should help get submissions cleared more promptly. And while you're at it, feel free to offer any of us staff members, Austrian or otherwise, a gift of tasty Leberkässemmel.

Heh, at last! After blaming the QC for quite a number of submissions on the main site, I can finally prove if I am any better! Also, how'd you like your Leberkässemmel?

Holy turd!! Congrats just hope there's no unplayable stuffs like Mario350 again. :D

Don't worry - I'll make sure games like Mario350's never get past QC ever again.[/quote] I'm pretty sure that the job of quality control is to assure the games are playable and don't break any rules, not to assure they're any good. Besides, Mario350's games were playable. Not what most sane people would consider amazing, but playable.

Well, even if they technically follow the rules, nobody likes playing them. The QC must assure quality, hence the word "quality" in its name. Vinny also voted to decline Mario350's games and that with good reason.

Maybe not in the fashion you're thinking of, but... ;) EDIT: Basically, I'm just saying that it's probably unfair to reject a game simply because you deem it of poor quality. EDIT 2: I worded that somewhat poorly, but you get what I mean.

[i]"All content should demonstrate [b]care and effort.[/b] Rushed or useless sprites and hurried, empty Games will be declined. Further explanation below."[/i] From the Submission Rules on the mainsite. Seriously guys, this shouldn't be that hard of a concept to accept (no pun intended).

Just to clarify: I'm not saying that the staff should accept any game regardless of quality, I'm just saying that you need to be fair with this stuff. After all, what is repulsive to you might be a genuine good time for somebody else.

And you can't seriously try to tell me that "Super Quest" or "Mario Minigame Mayhem" give anyone a good time, other than making them laugh.

congrats, man!

Either way, neither of us are likely to budge on the subject and we've both made our point, so we might as well just drop it.

[quote="UltLuigi"]congrats, man![/quote] Thanks! [quote="dustinvgmaster"]Either way, neither of us are likely to budge on the subject and we've both made our point, so we might as well just drop it.[/quote] Seconded.

Wow! Great, I'm getting sick of the tide of bad games lately.

At least, ones below what people think are good scores. I'm of the "it must be functioning and playable - entertainment is optional" camp. Welcome to the controversy that comes with being Site Staff!
