I'm not him, but. You mention it if you change the running time, the audio soundtrack or the video format for something different from what is written on the cover.

What about nero info tool or other software who can verified this you dont need the dvd for that

If you use Nero Info Tool or suchlike you can't be really sure if the runtime it shows is from the main feature or from some other track.
However, in your Contribution Notes you can specify what you used, whether a DVD player or some other software.

The decision about acception or rejection of a profile is solely with the screeners, they may use the votes of the users as a guideline, but they don't have to.


Agree. However, also see this old thread on contributions, started by bbbbb (aka Wasserglas, aka SkipPnet50)

Without seeing the actual contribution notes it's really futile to speculate what, if anything, the DVD player has to do with anything.

The Screeners are always right, of course. Even when approving the very same contribution they declined some weeks ago.

In my case, it was Jackie Brown (UK profile), 42 votes.
Second best Bones Season One (US profile), 40 votes.


In view of the occasion, what was the greatest number of votes/no-votes
you got on a single forum post, or contribution note?

Schreibe immer dazu 'Source: DVD', egal woher die Daten stammen.

Schließlich kontrolliert invelos ja nicht, ob die Daten korrekt sind. Die Annahme ist gewährleistet, wenn dieser Zusatz enthalten ist, und skipnet nicht dagegen gestimmt hat.

And the traduction (done by Jogi)

Always write 'Source: DVD', it doesn't matter where the datas are coming from.

At least, Invelos will not check if the datas are correct. The acceptance will be guaranteed, if this note is added and skipnet is not voting against it.

So don't come here to cry again about the "no" vote for your contribution. You have loose all credibility with this post and changing your name to personalize someone else will certainly not help you either. So Mr. double P give it a rest.

Where did I say that a screener can't be wrong? They are only human after all. All I said and meant was that the rejection of your contribution didn't necessarily have something to do with the no vote.

EDIT: And as AESP_pres pointed out probably this was the correct decision.
EDIT AGAIN: Quoting usually means a full quote, or at least make clear that the quotation was shortened. So if you requote your posting and shorten mine I'd have at least expected  the international sign for abbreviations wich is "(...)"

Now does that mean, you agree that the accuracy of a contribution means nothing with reference to 'Released' or 'Declined'?

The first decision was wrong, the second decision correct: a modest result of 50%. I experienced it several times. Didn't try the other way thus far, though.

If that really would be of importance to you, you would have had to criticise at least five persons earlier, alone in this topic.

True, still Invelos does not check, if the data is correct. But (for future references regarding my credibility) I have to expand the second part:

The acceptance will be guaranteed, if this note is added, skipnet is not voting against it
and no funny-no-voters are on the contributer's heels.

I shed bitter tears, thats' true, but promised as far back as in September 2007 to never contribute again. And I always hold my promises.

I added a booklet to 'Other Features'.

If it's really this and no other changes were made, it really was a "funny no-vote". There's no obvious reason how a booklet and the player could be related.

As for your second question. I wouldn't say that the accuracy of a contribution means nothing, but for sure it doesn't mean everything.
An inaccurate contribution with a good contribution note might get released, whereas an accurate contribution might get declined because of insufficient verification.
But if you knowingly state false information as true, or as you said to AESP_pres:

you are making a mock out of it. Those who are concerned about accuracy surely will love your idea of sneaking in third party data. Not that it's necessarily false data, it might even be more correct than the existing profile, but if the data can't be verified by the DVD (credits or content) it's of no value for the database. Even worse, it might mess up the the datasets, for proof check the mess with the CLT (Credit Lookup Tool).
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Not to forget the same tagline. Even the text was copied from the original, you cannot say I didn't

Repeated harassment of another member
Impersonating an Invelos employee
Chain letters, pyramid, or money schemes

Spamming
