There was a contribution where the submitter properly added single quotes to some of the italicized words but not all of them. I voted no, pointing out that they missed an italicized word.

The submitter pulled the contribution and resubmitted adding this to his notes:

Quote:
COO added

Studios corrected per film credits

Overview edited for Italics '
No Rick, i did NOT oiverlook loverly, I am after title distinction, if you want it you do it

New Disc ID data

[balance of notes deleted by me so you can't tell what profile it is or who the contributor is since it is really not a part of the issue]

Is this now the acceptable way to submit profiles? Just add the parts you want and tell someone else if they want it they need to submit it?

Could this not carry over to cast?

Quote:
"Main cast submitted per end credits. I stopped after the main actors. If someone else wants the rest they can do it."

My feelings are if you are going to submit a correction to something it has to be complete and correct per the rules. Am I off base here?

You are correct,  I don't see anything there that says it is optional or mentions 'title distinction'.  I would vote 'no' on this as well.


EDIT: ya_shin types faster than I do...I agree 100% with what he said.

I wouldn't have a probelm with somebody contributing a partial crew/cast list. I've done it myself in the past (computer crashed before I saved final info for crew - and it was a big list; submitted what I had saved and said in contribution notes that it wasn't complete and I had no energy to do it). No incorrect data is submitted so there's no reason to vote no. In the case of the overview then it is incorrect data and worthy of a no vote.

I am right with you Rick! This is completely against the rules, and you No vote is completely justified imo.

Do I get a prize if I guess who the contributer is?

Note for m.cellophane, lyonsden5, Newton and anyone else, you want to put loverly in quotes , DO SO, you have no right to place such a demand on me and your vote is nothing short of blackmail.

Great, now I am even accused of blackmail...

Ken, can we remove the voting feature completely? It seems to be useless, as you are even accused of blackmail when using it.

Not gonna happen...voting is one of the best ideas Ken's added to this site. How else do you think the screeners are supposed to accept/reject....they don't own every DVD ever made...

What newton has just posted is the revised submission. The submitter has once again submitted the same overview, this time adding the note:

From what I was just told in a PM I, along with Newton and James have been reported to Ken  for violating our voting privileges.

This makes absolutely no sense to me at all.       

If the submitter doesn't want to do the work... he should not submit the profile. As someone here like to proclaim, "bad data is bad data". A correction the the overview that is not complete is wrong.

My vote will stand. I will not be bullied by this person or anyone else as long as I am voting according to the rules.

The ironic part is this person brags how he is always willing to correct mistakes to his submissions and re-submit when someone points them out. I guess it depends on who happens to be doing the pointing (which BTW was not me. Someone else pointed it out first, I just get the fallout... and so do James and Newton now  )

Do as I say, not as I do.
