2 Japanese PS1 games that I had contributed about 17 days ago were rejected by Unicorn Lynx for not having enough of a Description. After playing though one of the two games I'm ready to add a discription to that one today but both games have now completely disappeared from my "Work in Progress" section?!
What's up with that?

Game entries that are left pending on your side are purged from the system if they remain there two weeks. If you want to keep them, you can submit and then pull them back to reset the timer. Unfortunately they probably cannot be recovered now.

...and this is a really, really bad feature. Those who don't like it exploit the trick you mentioned, but mostly innocent people fall victim to it.
Sorry, DJ Indio - I should have warned you about that. Hope you can still re-submit the entries, I'll look at them first thing.

The only slightly hateful thing is that, anytime anything is «pulled out from the queue» it will go in the rejected contributions area.. :(
