Don't care who put the bee in his bonnet. While i would hate to see him not Contribute. At the same ti,e. the choice is his, if he wishes to Contribute then he must conform to the Rules. If he does not wish to Contribute then he is completely free to do whatever he wants. I don't recall seeing any Contributions from him, but as yo less than helpful remarks, let us keep in mind that the space provided for voter comments is extremely l9imited.
ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

Indeed it is, but as I mentioned, some overcome this restriction by PM'ing the contributer before voting, helpfully pointing out the problems and allowing an opportunity to withdraw and correct the contribution.

It makes me wonder sometimes how many contributers have been lost forever simply because as a newbie, a problematic contribution of theirs has been savaged by a few with 'people skills issues', and they've simply thought "oh sod it!"...

I wonder the same thing at times.  While the comment field is small, there is still room to be polite and there is no excuse for being rude.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

I did that often when my collection was on the server. Unless it was someone clueless or arrogant (usually those who attack the voters in their note following a vote), I have sent many screencaptures when an uncredited cast member was removed or to show something in the credits. Most of the time the result is that no one became angry over a no vote.

If i have a contribution and there a "no votes" on it and i don't exactly understand the reason i use pm to ask the people. If i then knew and understand the reason i withdraw the contribution and contribute a new one if possible.
