Pretty much as the title says. I attempted to get a board setup for a game but it was denied for specific reasons. However, after discussing it with other members of the community, it was brought to my attention that there are several games on the site that would also be rejected for those specific reasons but are allowed to exist. For this reason. I want to reach out to the mods to discuss it so I can hopefully make them reconsider their decision. What would be the best way to reach the mods about this kind of thing?

I would assume making a ticket would be the best option, but there was no ticket option for this specific circumstance.

This is irrelevant, games are considered on a case-by-case basis. The rules around game requests have changed a lot and become much more strict over the years, but aren't applied retroactively since deleting established leaderboards would be unproductive and cruel. Because of this, existing games don't necessarily establish precedent for adding new ones.

Generally, if site staff says a game is ineligible and cites specific reasons, then it's ineligible for those reasons. If there was a mistake in their reasoning you can resubmit the game request and clarify things, but in this case it just sounds like you're out of luck.
