You put up your contribution.  If you get "no" votes and the voters are "correct", you resubmit with corrections.  If the voters are incorrect, you leave it as is (maybe add a comment to the contribution notes) and let the reviewers decide.  If it is a "gray" area and I get more than two "no" votes, I simply withdraw the contribution and move on.  The community's loss...not mine.

After a nice and friendly period here, things starting to get worse again.

Is it so hard to be more friendly ?
is it so hard to sometimes stfu and not be all egomaniac ?
Is it so hard to not always have the last word on every issue ?
Is it so hard to admit a mistake from time to time ?
is it so hard to realise that oneself is not the center of knowledge in the universe ?

Is the only option a friendly user has to put several others on ignore ?

Maybe those few who are constantly starting trouble here should think about the questions I raised.

It really isn't about being so egotistical as to think my contributions (or Skips, or anyone elses) are the best.  What it was about for me was that I enjoyed doing them, and I spent a lot of time doing my best to make them as accurate as I could, and trying to follow the rules to the best of my ability.  But, when you do that, and then get somebody picking it apart because it doesn't meet their criteria for what they want in their database and then voting no, or raising such a stink about some aspect of the rules they don't like that makes it impossible to not have problems with a contribution, all the enjoyment just goes away.  It is a very short step from there to the nasty comments about a contribution or about who one's friends are, and arguments about the rules that go on forever.  It simply isn't worth the effort anymore.  I know I'm not the only one who feels that way, and I know that is why quite a few besides me have stopped contributing.

I have a very simple philosophy on this.

You put up your contribution.  If you get "no" votes and the voters are "correct", you resubmit with corrections.  If the voters are incorrect, you leave it as is (maybe add a comment to the contribution notes) and let the reviewers decide.  If it is a "gray" area and I get more than two "no" votes, I simply withdraw the contribution and move on.  The community's loss...not mine.

best post in this thread, this is exactly what I do and No one will stop me from contributing

cheers

If you feel someone has an agenda, not suited for this service, why not report them? Giving up really doesn't benefit anyone besides the users polluting the databases.

If this is about scans, then I know how frustrating this can be, when most users have different monitors and uses their eyes to judge. What looks great on one moitor can look bad on another.
