As usual a bit on the fence, a good idea but could easily go wrong especially a public system. A small controlled quality control/submission team that is trusted enough does sound like a good idea and wouldn't mind at all. It would also help the other sites such as Sounds and Textures have more updates.

I won't mind looking at a few sheets and was thinking about doing something similar recently to not only help get the queue down but also gives something to do and keep to the standards of the site.

As for improving sheets before/during the submission process, the forums can be used for that purpose- to upload sheets in pre-production and receive feedback. But by this point I'm probably getting ahead of myself.

In the older days, before self submissions were possible that's what the submissions threads were used for and if there were mistakes, you could fix them up. Sadly not everyone has the knowledge for it to be possible. Something popular like a Mario game or a cult Japanese game like Dangaronpa, you can get the feedback about missing sprites/wrong colours no problem but with something obscure like a prototype game, a random home computer game or a sports game the only help if available would be the usual correct size/colours/layout. Some of the games that are on the various VGR sites have very little info online or even in a few cases, not emulated or have a common file format. Even then sometimes its the game itself that has buggy sprites (can recall the Mega Drive Sailor Moon game and had to post screenshots showing the glitchy sprites).

Saying that, did get help from the olden days that helped me become a better ripper. Can recall Dolphman and Davias being the two that often helped.
