We've implemented a system of decline reason reporting. Going forward, contributions which are declined due to a common cause will show with the reason and a helpful hint in your contribution list under the My Profiler section of this site. We've implemented a few common reasons to start and will add more in the future as needed. Is there any reason why this function is not showing up in my Contributions List? Steve |

| | Posted: | | | | It maybe that none of your contributions that were declined had one of those reasons. We dont always supply a reason. Like Ken said, we just have a handful right now.

| | Posted: | | | | While I am happy this new feature has been implanted, I just wish this was properly introduced in the Announcements forum because I had some declines which I really did not understood. For instance I contributed a perfect profile I made for a new DVD I bought and I got this message: "Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted. Please include the sources for your changes in the contribution notes, especially for cast and crew additions.". Shouldn't it be obvious that all data entered are from this DVD? I can understand this will stop a lot of bogus/bootleg entries, but I am also afraid this new approach will scare some good people off. I know it made me wonder why I needed to justify a new contribution which I knew was clearly right. | | | Martin Zuidervliet

| | Posted: | | | | it is not so obvious, as there are programs in use and users are just copying third party data in to the profile even with new dvd's | | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted.

Why would it be obvious where you got the info just because it is a new profile? If you don't say where you got the info from why should they assume where you got the info? Just because it is a new profile don't automatically mean you got the info from the dvd. Just like any other profile you need to let them know the details and sources for any change or addition. | | | | Pete |

23 Yes votes 1 No with a slight concern about the cover scan and it gets declined why does the one person get there way and the 23 don't You'll find a lot of people just vote Yes regardless of the rightness or wrongness of the information, or whether or not any rules were violated by the contributor. A No vote that makes that apparent, for example, carries a lot more weight than a page full of Yes votes that are bogus. Just one reason, however, it could be any of a dozen different things. | | | John

| | Posted: | | | | Well the No vote had nothing to do with the rules it was on a personal preference which was to do with the cropping of the scan i PMed the person to explain that i had not cropped it and that is how my cover is but he refused to change his vote this had also happened with one other who after i had explained was quite happy to change his vote to a Yes. |

| | Posted: | | | | Was there a note on why it was declined? it may not have anything to do with the images... as I am not positive but I do believe that the screener could accept the profile and not the image.
I do know that Gerri posted a little while back that not all reasons has been put into the program yet... so sometimes she can't give a reason. and that more will be added as needed. So it is quite possible it was declined for an entirely other reason. | | | | Pete |

No reason given for decline and the only other thing there was in the profile was Box Set disc id's so i find it hard to believe that the people that voted did so without looking at the scans. |

Ninehours, This may be a stupid question but, did you list sources for your Disc ID's? I know they can be obtained through the program but. I bet Ken and Gerri like sources for these because some people use utilities like VSO Inspector which is not a big deal they just need to know that if someone wants to change the disc ID later on. | | | | Brian |

Ninehours,

I bet Ken and Gerri like sources for these because some people use utilities like VSO Inspector which is not a big deal they just need to know that if someone wants to change the disc ID later on. It was only the scans that where declined the disc id's were accepted. And the strange thing is i used the same scans on the disc two profile and that was accepted  | | | | Last edited: by ninehours |

| | Posted: | | | | sounds like it was just a goof up to me... that the decline button was accidentally hit instead. I know this happens. I just had to resubmit 3 discs worth of cast data... because they missed where I stated that any Birth Years in my submission was not added by me... but was from a previously accepted profile. So no big deal... I just resubmitted it... making sure it was clear I didn't add the said birth year. | | | | Pete |

-Gerri Question Gerri, If a contribution was submitted for new images only, but no actual profile alterations were submitted ... and then the images were declined, BUT a profile contribution (which wasn't submitted) was approved, would that be an error in the approval process? | | | | Corey |

| | Posted: | | | | It is possible, but what most likely happened is that the profile was approved (meaning no changes were accepted). Also it could be that something was submitted.
If you feel something was mistakenly declined, send it up again with comments stating that. Often times when I see something like that, I will PM with the reason it was declined if it is declined again.
