| | Posted: | | | | But according to the rules the contribution is correct and I don't see how this can be a "no" vote. A PM to the user or a note with your "yes" vote should be the way to go. |

| | Posted: | | | | Should be, I agree, dark. But my view of what appears to be the prevailing attitude of if I don't have to I won't do it, let somebody else do it. I may feel a strong no vote is in the best interest of other users and the community. It makes me unhappy to do so, but not half as unhappy as this new trend which is to ignore what is good for the community and other users, if ken does not require it, emphasis on require, then hire behind ken.  | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | I understand your point of view Skip but if the contribution is correct according to the rules it should not be voted "no" on. That's it. I agree it would be nice if an error would be corrected but it still doesn't change the fact that the contribution is correct and should get a "yes" vote. Just my 4 cents....... |

| | Posted: | | | | I will add that most times i would vote yes with a comment. But there are users where i feel a stronger action is neccessary. So I reserve the righti to vote no on behalf of other users and the community. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | I would correct an error even if the rules said I didn't HAVE to.. its in the best interest of the community and fellow users to do so, someone who does not may be following the rule but does not have ghost interests in mind so I reserve the vote those interests.
Some users will not even include a single sentence because I don't havr to, to explain a data change. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

I understand your viewpoint and I am not saying that I don't agree with some of what you are saying but I don't agree with the fact that voting "no" on a correct contribution is legit to bring your point across. You can't say the rules must be followed when you then take the law in your own hands if you think it's for the greater good. But again that's just my opinion. | | | | Last edited: by TheDarkKnight |

| | Posted: | | | | I understand, dark. I an deeply troubled by this new trend of following the path of least resistance if ken will permit it and screw the community or other users. Fortunately there are just a few of these people but... | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

But if the contribution is correct according to the rules, is it then correct to vote "no" because an existing error wasn't corrected? To be short, no. You can let him know about the error while voting yes too. |

To be short, no. You can let him know about the error while voting yes too. It was meant to be a rhetorical question anyway.. |

| | Posted: | | | | I would have to find the post I am thinking of to be 100% sure it is the same situation... but I remember Ken posting something about both a yes vote with comment or a no vote with comment was equally correct. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I am having a hard time finding it now... but it was a thread about an overview and if only part of the errors in the overview was fixed if it was ok to still vote no. I think MAYBE it was an overview Skip had done at the time. And when Ken finally jumped in he said either way... a yes vote with comment or a no vote with comment was both equally correct to bring it to the attention of the contributor/screeners.
Does this sound familiar to anyone else? if so do you remember what thread it is in? | | | | Pete |

I did not feel like starting an argument whether a "VFX artist" is a "Visual Effects" artist or not.
After all we already have Makeup artist, and the profile went through the hands of Katatonia, and if he did not see the need to remove the existing VFX artists why should I try.
Don't be saying it went through my hands, because the person who added those Crew credits did so after my contribution. I never even touched the Crew credits, as can be evidenced by the contribution notes history of the profile in question. A misunderstanding then. Because you were the first to vote against the already existing data  I thought you had an interest in crew. So it was bigdaddyhorse who added the two "VFX Artists", and got approved. Now, not even two months later, he himself votes against his own additions again  thus helping to prevent new correct data.

thus helping to prevent new correct data. Funny. What title is this? I really don't recall voting against VFX artists, personally I want them (within reason, I hate lists of dozens and often skip those), and esp. don't recall voting against stuff I contributed. I'm guessing there was something else on/in the contribution I was voting against, either that or I f'ed up bad.  |

I thought you had an interest in crew. I do have an interest in the correct Crew. Your contribution mentions knowledge of the incorrect entries, yet you didn't correct them in your contribution. You were editing the Crew and recontributing it, so I stand by the No vote in this case. Whatever you were adding correct, you were still re-adding incorrect data. | | | | Corey | | | | Last edited: by Katatonia |
