Hey gang!
I'm really loving the community here so far, and I'm really happy to be a part of the group :)
I've submitted a few pixel pieces and some of them were approved in the first few hours, and others haven't been approved or denied in over a week.
Have I submitted them badly? Does the moderation team need help with approval/denial? Please advise. I don't know if I've done something wrong.
All pixel art pieces are my own, definitely pixel art and do not violate any rules.

Pre-zoomed artwork often gets a lot of "no" votes, which means those pieces have a hard time reaching a "yes" consensus from the public. Don't pre-zoom your stuff, PJ has a zoom feature so it's best to upload at 1x.
I'm not sure why your Easter Egg piece hasn't been approved, but it might be because the preview is pre-zoomed and cropped mid-pixel. Preview images are generally subject to the same standards as the full piece.
Lastly, one of PJ's most active mods isn't around currently, so things are taking longer to get through the queue than normal. There are still mods though, so public queue votes are the biggest factor for things taking more than a few days to be accepted.

Aha! I wasn't aware it was a vote-based system.
I'll try your fixes and report back. Lots of little details I wasn't aware of! Thank you! :)

Moderators have the final say, so it's not entirely vote-based.
They use the votes and comments to determine whether a piece needs a closer look, whether it has issues they missed on their cursory look.
The voting also gives them an idea of what the community considers acceptable or not. For example, pre-zooming isn't actually against the rules, but the community is generally against it. The votes allow them to adjust their moderating style (and potentially the rules) to reflect the changing community.
