I went and did all of this except the last bit since I wasn’t sure what it meant, and I still couldn’t comment

Yep cheers.

<?php
	$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
	$args = array( 'post_status' => 'pending', 'posts_per_page' => 20, 'paged'=>$paged);
	$recent_posts = new WP_Query( $args );
?>

<?php while ( $recent_posts->have_posts()) {
    $recent_posts->the_post();
    echo '<div id="votes"><li id="voteimage"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" title="' . esc_attr( $recent["post_title"] ) . '">';
    echo get_the_post_thumbnail($recent["ID"], 'thumbnail');
    echo '</li></a>';
    echo '<li class="vote-title"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" title="Look '.esc_attr($recent["post_title"]).'" >' . get_the_title() .'</a> </li>';
    echo '<li class="vote-desc"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_the_excerpt(10) . '</a> </li>';
	echo '<ul class="vote-footer"><li>Author: <a href="http://streakingpirates.com/forum/users/' . get_the_author() . '">' . get_the_author() . '</a></li></ul>';
    echo '</div>';
	}
?>
<div id="vote-pages">
<div id="vote-older">
<?php next_posts_link(  '« Older Posts' , $recent_posts->max_num_pages ); ?>
</div>
<div id="vote-newer">
<?php previous_posts_link('Newer Posts »'); ?>
</div>
</div>

Is the code for it incase anybody ever needs it and finds this.

Solution found. I went into the post.php and changed the property of the ‘pending’ type post from protected to public. Problem is, if I upfate wordpress this may be undone, is there a way to make this permanent through a non-wordpress file?
