| Posted: September 19, 2011 9:30 PM | | | | I can only occasionally talk myself into voting on contributions these days, and it's mostly when I know there is a problem with the contribution. Even so, Invelos still manages to discourage me at every turn. This contribution had 75% "No" votes when I last checked...  So... why do I even bother at all? --------------- |

--------------- Wow. Which profile is it? I recognize it (and positive I voted no if I did come across it) but want to make sure it doesn't get into my database... |

--------------- Thanks for posting the UPC. I had just voted yes on the Criterion changes a couple of days ago and thought, "what the heck, I know those were good." |

I saw the contribution it had all no votes. Yeah. This user merely says "rotten tomatoes" in the notes. That's it. Even if the BY's were valid (they aren't), the notes alone should get it immediately declined. Doing it once could be a simple mistake, but twice on the same day? | | | Last edited: September 20, 2011 1:56 AM by The Movieman |

| Posted: September 20, 2011 4:06 PM | | | | It is rather pathetic when the screeners allow such obvious issues to be approved. Thios particular user should have nothing approved even IF there are no votes at all | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!! CBE, MBE, MoA and proud of it. Outta here

| Posted: September 20, 2011 4:09 PM | | | | Exactly... If the screeners aren't reliable what is the point to have them to begin with. Seriously this kind of contribution note is supposed to be rejected automatically in the same way a note with only imdb would be.
I can understand an error in the approval process, but from what I understand this isn't the first time... |
