I am a bit frustrated about one of my contributions being declined. This in the one in question:



I had created 4 fully audited child profiles and added them to this parent. And at the same time I corrected what I considered an incorrect title. The title was (and still is) Great Sci-Fi Classics: Volume 3. Nothing resembling that title appears anywhere on the cover, so I changed it to Sci-Fi: Abraxas: Guardian of the Universe/First Spaceship on Venus/They Came from Beyond Space/Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet. That is a handful, but it reflects what's on the cover.

I had only one vote, and it was a No vote with this comment:

Quote:
There are currently 7 different profiles in this series of DVDs. Great Sci-Fi Classics: Volume 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8. There are at least 11 volumes in this series that exist. All known on-line as  "Great Sci-Fi Classics: Volume 'x". Check it out on-line.

I have no reason to question the facts that the voter presents. But I find that the rules are clear - Use the title from the front cover. There are several clarifications to this rule, but I see nothing that supports the notion of taking a totally different title just to harmonize it with other equally questionable titles, or because they are known as something else online.

I was disappointed, but not entirely surprised, to find that this one No vote resulted in the contribution being declined. I had hoped that the screener would take the actual rule into account, but apparently not.

Now I wonder if Ken or Gerri has ever made any statement that supports this voter's view? Or am I just too anal about this title?

Per the rules, you can use the back for some clarifications if necessary.

Not for boxed sets.  Per the rules:

The title for a Box Set should be the title listed on the front cover, for example Alien Quadrilogy

This contribution being declined for one lone "no" vote just proves how broken the contribution/voting system is.

---------------

Just recontribute and hightlight the fact, that the contribution was declined because of an invalid vote. Screeners take a personal look on negative voted contributions.

I would re-contribute without the Sci-Fi part. That just seems randomly put on there, like a tagline or something. Just use the 4 titles with the / between each one.

yeah... would also agree with that

In this instance Sci-Fi does seem to be the set title

Yeah, this is what the spine looks like:

So I don't see it as just a tag line.
