| Posted: | | | | I have a contrabution up for vote and have so far two people voting no, and not for what I am submitting but for something I didn't even change and that maybe needs changing. 21 yes vote, 2 no votes. For the 2 no vote I believe this "No" vote is considered an abuse of the voting privilege The contrabution in question is Bambi the Blu-ray combo. I am adding, Making this a combo Adding slip case Reording Genres Adding Studio per credits, RKO is not listed Adding Features from disc Adding Subtitles and Audio from disc Adding overview from Back of case Adding Child profile Adding disc ID Correcting Crew to match credits and adding Cover scans |

| Posted: | | | | I wouldn't consider the two "No" votes as an abuse. Remember just because a contribution has "No" votes doesn't mean the screener will deny the contribution. If I remember correctly they are voting no because the case type is wrong. Really the easy thing is just change the case type (even though you didn't originally contribute it) and resubmit your contribution.
You already have the other data so it should be easy to recontribute and just cut and paste your previous contribution notes. | | | Are you local? This is a local shop the strangers you would bring would not understand us, our customs, our local ways. |

| Posted: | | | | Many users don't understand that we, as users, are not forced to Contribute anymore than we want at a given time. They think you should complete the Contribution, I consider that an abuse by the voter, but also no big deal, unless they are the only voters. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| Posted: | | | | One shouldn't vote "no" on data that the contributor has not added or changed.
If the change is simple, I often add/change this additional data.
But, I often update DVDs before I give them away. I'm not going to unpack them to check on data that I did not update.
When this happens I send the "no" voters a short note asking them to change their vote since their vote has nothing to do with my contribution.
If they do not change their vote, I edit the profile and alert the screeners that the "no" votes are not relevant to my contribution. |

| Posted: | | | | As far as I understand it is not a contributors responsibility to correct existing errors.
Your contribution adds lots of new and valuable data into the main database. A minor existing error shouldn't be enough to get it rejected.
In my opinion the only time a NO vote should be done is when a contributor adds an error to a profile. Not because they overlooked an existing error. | | | Last edited: by CubbyUps |

| Posted: | | | | On the other hand, DarkNite indicates that he added a slip case, which is part of a contribution of a case type. If that case type as such is incorrect, I can see why some voters would want to point that out.
Or, what MadMartian said. | | | Hans | | | Last edited: by Staid S Barr |

| Posted: | | | | I had once a no vote because the coverscans were not so good. But he then did an own contribution with great coverscans and I did withdraw my contribution. I think you can vote no if something is not good, but it is then nice if a no voter can do it better, how he did in this case, to do an own and better contribution. That is welcome, I always accept if somebody can do it better and votes not only no and does nothing himself.
I find doing contributions a good thing. Everybody can profit then from a good database with most of there films. If I spend so much time do enter the data just for me it is nice if also others can take profit of it. Sure, it would be much easier to do all just for myself, but it is also fun to do something for others and not only me, makes me more happy than working just for me :-).

| Posted: | | | | I would never vote no if something is NOT contributed and is wrong. However, once you contribute something and it's wrong, even if you didn't make the error, I'd point it out. If it's up for voting, it's up for review by the voting public.
I don't think it's something against the contributor, it's just pointing out that the information is wrong. I've had people point out errors, especially in the overview, that I've missed and it's usually not that big of a deal to quick fix the problems and resubmit.
When you contribute, you have the option of not submitting something... | | | Lori |

Why is this an abuse?
They voted no, and pointed out a perceived error. Whether or not the error is yours is irrelevant.

Charlie Thank you Charlie, no ill will here, just pointing out the error and leaving it up to the contributor to correct it or not. No biggy, I don't see what the problem is. Darknite shouldn't take it so personal. | | | Jim

| Posted: | | | | Voting no because a contribution isn't complete is preposterous. All additional data is welcome and can be completed lateron by anyone at any time. As long as you didn't submit any errors, I'd consider it a voting violation from their part. | | | Blu-ray collection DVD collection My Games My Trophies |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting Darknite: Quote: I have a contrabution up for vote and have so far two people voting no, and not for what I am submitting but for something I didn't even change and that maybe needs changing. Just one minor point: If you can check the box for an item there is a difference to the existing profile (Means: Change). It really doesn't matter whether you changed it yourself or merely kept (outdated) data. If you choose to contribute this data (check the box) you confirm that the existing data is incorrect and your contribution is correct. No problem if this is true and again no problem if it isn't. Just resubmit and simply don't check the box for Case Type this time. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up! But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
