Greets. I just joined and would like to submit some artwork such as tilesets that I plan to expand on later. In the past, as a user, I found packs that had been uploaded repeatedly as updates which made downloads pretty confusing. Is there a way to avoid this, such as updating an already submitted and accepted pack? I want to add to the site, not junk it up. Like many, I've lost tons of custom pixel art to hard drive reformats, etc over the decades and would like to put a stop to that.

Welcome!
I agree repeatedly uploading new versions of the same asset makes things confusing. I recommend submitting an asset, then- when it needs to be updated with a newer version- clicking on the EDIT tab and replacing the old downloadable files with the new version. After that, leave a comment on your own submission indicating what was changed.
This will keep the asset as a single submission people can return to consistently. Anyone who has also commented on the submission will be notified automatically something is new or changed.
--Medicine StormThanks, will do! I make games using Scratch by MIT so I plan to make and link demo projects for the sets I submit so users can try them out first. Or in some cases, I'll be ripping my own stuff from old projects.
Quick follow up, do updates to a submission get it back on the 'latest art' list on the front page?

No. Updates do not get put back on the 'latest art' list.
--Medicine Storm:(
that kind of stinks for cases like this. It's tough I guess. I can see how it could be annoying if any old edit (like fixing a spelling error in the description or something) got a submission back on the front page. On the other hand, for major or even somewhat minor additions to an existing set, it'd be nice to let folks know about them.
It'd be a shame if an artist put a lot of work into revising, expanding or otherwise improving a submission and nobody noticed. :(
