I'm all for the 1.6 megapixel rule, but the algorithm which checks the res has some issues. Currently the lowest allowed resolution is 1600×1000 (and 1300×1300) and it still holds back anything below 1600×1200 for moderator approval. Like I have/had 1637×1158 and 1690×1125 res images held back. I think it's unnecessary workload on the mods for artworks which will be approved anyway, since it takes days for the mods to get around and check the pics, in the meanwhile it fills up the 5 "pending for approval" slots for uploaders too quickly.

Or just change the rule to 1.9 megapixels with an algorithm which takes into account the variations of horizontal and vertical size and be strict with it.
both 1637×1158 and 1690×1125 are under 1.92MP. There's nothing checking width and height separately.
