Yes you can change your vote. You must go to database, click on "All pending updates", search the profile, click on "Evaluate" and redo as the first time.


I meant the new reputation rating system, not the contribution voting..

So let me get this right. Mark is unhappy because his scans that he submitted after mine (both of which he voted yes on) were declined after mine were approved.

I agree with Vega, a red mark for that post is an abuse of the system.  Ken said he would be watching for these. 
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Ah sorry don't understand your sentence  Yes I think Ken has said we have 3 days to change a vote, or maybe it was to edit a post... didn't really remember.
Ken has added in the FAQ (link) an entry for the reputation system but not with a lot of details about it. He has said in the post of the announcement forum that's to avoid people to find a fault to counter the system.
As already said, abuse of the negative vote will be sanctionned by the admins and it's normal!

Speaking of the "Rep. system", I was looking at my profile eariler today and it only shows one vote I posted for a post in a thread. Funny thing is, it's not a post I clicked, not even the same thread.
I'll guess it's a "work in progress" and don't have anything to say bad about what post it said I voted for.

EDIT:
O.K., a couple other posts I clicked green/up for today just showed and are the right ones. I wasn't drunk last night so I have no idea about the other one.

As this is a very subjective area, our votes are only a reccomendation.  The screener has the final say as to whether or not the improvement is significant enough to be accepted.


Well ... I can tell you this ...

The POTC only had the pre-release cover for front & back in the databaase.

There were numerous contributions for the correct front & rear covers ... BUT ... mine was the ONLY ONE that actually contained the slip cover that the DVD came in ...

That is why I am confused.

As for the Superbad one ... only Ray Charles would not have seen how much difference there was from mine to the one in the database.

This is what makes it so discouraging about trying to improve the database on here ...   

Mark,

At the time you submitted both of these, my scans were ahead of you. Both of my scans got approved. Your Superbad front is not as sharp as mine, which is now the current scan. Your POC scans look very red/pink to me ( you think that mine are too yellow ).

My guess is that once my scans were approved, yours were not a 'significant improvement'.

By the way, the votes on mine were 10-0 and 17-0.

So let me get this right. Mark is unhappy because his scans that he submitted after mine (both of which he voted yes on) were declined after mine were approved. I try to add some background info and then I get a 'bad' vote for it? If I had called Mark a jerk or something then I could understand. But to get a bad vote for adding info to the thread is something that has me very confused.

pdf256 ... if you did indeed get a bad vote in the reputation ... then that was definately uncalled for. I took no offense whatsoever for what you added to this topic. It helped explain to me why mine got declined. I do not know who would have done that ... but they can ... and should ... retract it.

If he or anyone really gave you a negative rating for that post then that is clearly an abuse of the reputation system.  All you did was explain the situation and how it came about.  I hope there is a way to change or cancel the ratings otherwise they might be sorry they did that. 


Vega ... I can tell you without reservation that it WAS NOT ME (and I know you are not saying that it was definately me) who gave him a no vote. If you look above this answer you will see that I took absolutely no offense in his imput.

I said it once and I will say it again ... whoever did give him a no vote ... SHOULD ... go back and retract it. You can do that.
