Will do of course

Could it not have been, just maybe that I was responding to the request to report back? Maybe? You think? 

Nice to see the return of "destruction of the rules", we have not seen that rant for some time. Like the return of an old friend!

Exactly Skip, your mind reading skills are right on the money today! 

My master plan of rules destruction has been exposed. And I was so sure this SRP change was gonna do it.

You're siding with Skip?
You're barred!! 

Seriously I'm wondering if it's a UK/US english thing - they way we've been taught to interpret the language differently - as I've noticed that Andy and I are from the UK and both interpret the sentence one way, and Skip, Pete and Unicus interpret it another.


I'm agreeing with Skip....so there's a Canadian perspective.... 

However, I'm of the opinion that this rule should be changed to read like the rule for updating DiscIDs.

Just my two cents/pence...

Here's the part you missed, lopek. My profile is identical to yours, and in fact since it was pre-release I had submitted it with the SAME covers before you had, but when I noticed that a profile had already been published with the SRP, and instead of merely correcting mine  to remove the SRP (which would have followed the Rules) I chose to completely withdraw mine to prevent having a duplicate Contribution, even one with out the illegal SRP change.

One COULD ask the question why did you submit a duplicate Contribution, but I will assume that yours only became visible after the acceptance of the first entry. That does not however excuse your rUle violation.

Look at the notes before spouting rubbish. I had a contribution in place before yours was there - a new contribution for a title that was not in the database. Yours was the third such.

As someone had already contributed before me (and you of course) - invisible to me at the time of contribution - mine became a contribution of an existing profile when the other was accepted.

As my notes did not adequately explain what were now changes, but originally was new info, I resubmitted it with amended notes - including specifically explaining the change of SRP.

Your contribution had already been withdrawn before I did my update - I did not submit any duplicate contribution of yours, and not knowingly of the original contribution.

But hey, don't let the facts get in the way of a good red herring!

Skip - would you honestly have bought this to the forum if it was another user who had made this SRP change?
Now we can comment on no votes, PM's to other users making them 'aware' are unnecessary, every other voter would have seen your reasoning and considered it's merit. Then they would have voted in how they interpret the contribution.
And the screeners would either say yes or no to its passing.
End of story.

This does not do yourself and the community at large any favours. We need new members, Invelos must have new subscribers, but this type of thread would discourage anyone considering joining IMO.

Yes i would, richie, you notice that in my initial post i did not name names or even the title. Unlike some who like to try a rally the troops to their aide, I do not choose to do that. i brought it up as a point of discussion and education. The Rule means what it says, and how the user rationalizes his rule breaking is totally irrelevant, it is still a direct violation of the Rules.

And who decides what it says, as there seems to be some disagreement of what it says if you read this thread!

<sigh> Why am I not surprised, in your case i can't even say i am disappointed. I have recognized this for a long time.

How do you equate Andy's agreement to report the outcome of the submission, and to my suggestion that we use it as a precedence to the destruction of the rules?
I'm suggesting we use this submission as a way of finding out exactly what Ken intends this rule to mean, regardless of which way it goes.
Despite the fact that you maintain that there is no other way of reading that rule, a number of people have noted that they have not read it the same way. Therefore the rule is not clear, so we need clarification.

You can't use a single submission to see what Ken and Gerri thinks. Things do slip through to much to judge it like that.

I would have thought a 4 page thread might have attracted their attention and they'd be keeping an eye out for it! 

But you're right, it would be better if we got confirmation another way.

I would think that they're too involved with their upcoming move to worry about a SRP change of 1 cent/pence .

Which is why it's "good" that there is a duplicate of this situation pending now as well. 

Maybe we could go for best 2 out of 3?    Anybody got a nickel?

I pressume this refers to my pre-release contribution for 28 Weeks Later which Skip has voted No for. If so it was a change from $28.99 to $28.98.

As he did not include the details, it is 024543-469902, R1-USA, so people can see the context.

Thanks, what a nice addition to my wish list!

Oops, now look at that: Another "Yes" vote for the current update...

I agree that things do slip through, but I think this is unlikely to, both due to this thread, and my notes are explicit on the situation - there is no attempt to slip this through under the radar.

However having said that, one contribution does not a decision/rule make! But now there are apparently two... 

Cheers Tigi! Good luck with the Skip blasting and PMs!
