Your not being eligible to approve for publication an item on CVP site might be something Fergus may have overlooked
It is not a matter of eligibility. Every editor is eligible to publish submissions. HG chooses of his own volition to recuse himself from doing this.
if Fergus agreed with you much earlier, months ago, that they (i.e. my submissions at the front end of my pipeline) must first have diagrams using SVG set figurines to have any hope to be published, at all, rather than (in my case, besides those of any other possibly affected aspiring items' authors, I guess) my using certain set(s) I may prefer to choose.
HG and I already explained to you that SVG graphics are not required.
Note however that at this time it is still not 100% clear to me that Fergus is dogmatically requiring that preference of SVG sets over certain set(s) be absolute for a contributor to follow as a rule, as an all-but yet to be rubber-stamped official policy for CVP site (most notably of me, for starters).
With respect to the Alfaerie set, the SVGs and SVG-derived PNGs normally look better and cleaner than the original GIF images, and using them would be preferable. However, we have a division of labor to save me from doing all the labor, and I'm usually not even looking at new submissions. What the editors reviewing your submissions consider suitable is up to them.
In any case it was not clear to me, which, if any, editor(s), were assigned to examine some/(all of) my (9) submissions waiting for approval.
No one gets assigned to look at any submission. So no editor has been assigned to review your submissions.
now and then you (and this seems applicable to Fergus, too) have 'moved the goalposts', in regards to your Comments (and/or standards that are expected of others to notice/follow, in Fergus' case) on this CVP website; such movements of said goalposts, as I perceive them to be, are at times breathtaking to me (though that may not quite be the best way in general to describe them, in the case of some such movements I myself learned of, at a particular moment).
Different editors may have different standards. Though I have made suggestions, I am not telling the editors what standards to follow. It seems I have picked editors who pride themselves on high standards, and I consider that generally a good thing, though I do understand it may slow things down.
