I noticed we have a nice Lock List in which we can indicate if we want items locked: For profiles that are accurate and verified, you can also place locks to ensure the data stays correct.

I couldn't find any rules according to this and I also couldn't find any info about it.
Could someone please tell me more?   

Does it help for example.
Are items that are locked only by me, actually locked or do you need locks from several people?

For US, UK, Germany etc.. this is a practical feature.

For small markets like Belgium, the Netherlands,.. it is hard to find 6 people who think the information is correct and take the time to lock it.

I tried to lock about 50 dvd's in previous version, and the most I have seen is 3 locks on just one item of a contribution.

I'm from Belgian nationality (living in the netherlands), but I contribute my dvd's as dutch dvd's, since they are almost always the same as the Belgian dvds (I buy them in Belgium). The only thing is, there are more Dutch users, and thus more Dutch profiles and they are more accurate.

So for the Dutch, start locking...

Will do.

The disadvantage of this feature is, that in case of a necessary change to a locked profile, you have to find exactly those people that set the locks in the first place.

If one of them isn't using the program anymore, the removal of his lock can only be done through Invelos.

Furthermore, if more than six people locked the portion of the profile, you'll need more than one lock removed, to put the number below six again.

That's the backside of this feature, and the reason why I peronally don't like it too much

Which I why Iurge caution and pudence.

NEVER throw locks on Disc ID data, ther are many times when titles use Multiple Disc ID's, we can only speculate why, new pressings, multiple pressing plants being used, etc, but it happens.

To that list I'd add such things as Easter Eggs & Cast.  Both of these fields can have new data appear unexpectedly.

Ken, can you confirm that it is the case that you capture all Disc-ID info, and it is not just overwritten like all other fields? I have seen no official confirmation of this. It seems really strange to allow locks if it is the case, and I am wondering if it is just the over-active imagination of a certain user again?

I would like to know the answer to this as well.
