I just tried a little humour, just to show that if rules asked us to enter real data instead of what we see on screen, we would avoid those different interpretations (in fact 25% of voters in this poll do not see the same thing than the other ones....)

There is no interpretation, it is what it is and that is no space on screen.

As the poll shows though, there IS interpretation and they see a space on screen.

I believe the space between is because of having the A of LA in a smaller font, so I would go with LaVoy and LaVonn.


I agree with this.

Absolutely no space. Draw a straight vertical line from the right edge of the A to the left edge of the V and they would appear to touch. The space is an optical illusion because of the shape of the letters. In case you're wondering why I'm so positive, it's because I have been in printing and typesetting for 45 years.


Our fellow users who see a space really should try mreeder's advice and draw the straight vertical line.

There really can be no argument. Only goes to show the power of optical illusions.

So here about 26% would prefer the change, 71% would be against it.

Let's take a look at the voting screen:



95% of the voters prefer the change, 1 user is against it.

What do you think, is it far-fetched to vote against the change? Does bbbbb's no vote violate a rule?

Ask yourself, how will the reviewer decide? If he accepts the change, Invelos will degrade bbbbb's reputation, because he voted "wrongly". Rightly? No votes are much too risky.

Maybe, just maybe, if your notes were a little more informative, you wouldn't have to worry about it.  From what I remember Ken saying, the screeners take the comments into consideration when making their decision.  They aren't going to look at the credits, so the comments have to be informative,  Your comments are not.  You have all that space, and something like...

Existing spacing is correct. The font size makes is look like there is a space but, if you look closely, there isn't one.

...fits, so why not use the space provided?  I am sorry, but it is your notes that are ruining your reputation, not your votes.

So now it's my fault? What do you think about the effort the contributor made to justify his change?

"Cast: corrected exactly as credited"

Don't you think that in the first place the contributor's comments should be informative?

Now that it is my fault, what do you think about the other 23 voters?

I surely won't reference a thread where a fellow user claims that he sees "La Voy" and "LaVonn".

Apart from this it's not me that is in the obligation to provide. The contributor is.

I didn't say it was your fault, just that your notes weren't informative.  Bad notes are bad notes.  It doesn't matter whether or not it is from the contributor or the voter.  As to the other 23 voters, notes are not required for 'yes' votes so, other than the fact that I think their vote is wrong, I have no opinion on them.

Saw your video just fine and it is a good representation of what is in the credits.

Invelos has decided that the credits indeed read La Voy & La Vonn, and accordingly "corrected" the online entries "exactly as credited".
