Just wondering if the figures for Accepted Profile Contributions and Accepted Image Contributions get decremented when profiles/images are declined?

If they did they'd hardly be accurately named would they?

In the same way that the Production Year field stores the Theatrical Release Date?

Yeah sort of (not in my collection though...)

But seriously, after a contribution is approved and the count is changed, what incident would you feel could make the number go down again...?

If you contribute a further update to that profile and it's declined, or if you contribute another profile which is declined.

If this is not the case (which I do suspect is not the case but was curious to get confirmation), I wondered if anyone thought it would be a good idea to do so (or just straight show the number of declines in the profile too)?

Either way might help highlight troublesome contributors (Trinitron type users) and would encourage people to resolve differences with No voters rather than ignoring comments.

I can see the downsides to this too so thought it worthy of discussion .....

Another idea: just show percentage of accepted contributions.

Might stop the inferiority and superiority complexes that some have complained of.

My guess is showing the percentage accepted would just increase the complexes.  Especially if somone gets up to a 99% acceptance rate.
