Edit, just to illustrate my position :

Yves,

I hate when you do something like this...making me totally rethink what I thought I knew! 

I can not see any difference in these scans and would not know which were which.

So now I'm totally confused and will take back any opinion I have on this topic. I think I need to go watch a DVD!

Combining elements from reflective slipcover + inner cover is an excellent way to get a high quality image. If the result matches the slipcover, then you have an image that is as close to accurate as possible to the outer original cover and looks good on screen.

I am sorry, but you have to have completely lost sight of the point of the program to be against something like this because "it's against the rules."

Just my opinion.

While I understand where people who can't vote Yes to the new image are coming from, I will never understand why someone would vote No. If you can't make yourself vote Yes because you prefer to strictly adhere to the rules, yet you feel these images ought to be allowed, why on earth not just click Neutral?

As far as I'm concerned, voting No on this submission does not help the database in any way, shape or form. And isn't that why we're voting anyway? To try to improve the database? That's certainly why I vote, and not because I enjoy following a set of rules.

This is an attitude I just don't understand.  If we aren't going to vote based on the rules, what is the point of having them?  Why not just let people contribute whatever they feel improves the database and let the voters decide whether or not it does?

For the record, I never vote neutral.  If the data complies with the rules, I vote yes.  If it doesn't, I vote no.  Whether I believe it improves the database doesn't come into play.  Why?  Because what I believe is an improvement may not be what somebody else believes is an improvement.

As an example, surfeur believes entering 'FRANCOIS', into the database as 'François', is an improvement over 'Francois'.  Many of us agree with him, but we wouldn't vote 'yes' or 'neutral' for a contribution that does it because the rules, and Ken's clarification, do not allow it.  Why is one improvement allowed, even if it doesn't comply with the rules, but another isn't? 

@ surfeur, if I am mistaken about your belief, please feel free to correct me and I will retract my statement.

We would vote 'neutral' because voting 'neutral' is always allowed.

Thank you for the photograph, it makes the answer quite easy for me.

I must admit that I much prefer the keep case scans but that is not relevant to this discussion.

The keep case is not identical to the outer sleeve and, therefore, can not be submitted per invelos rules.

My thoughts exactly, but on the other hand we photoshop scans to remove scratches and dirt or to fill in rounded corners.

You might vote neutral, but I am willing to bet most of the users here would not because it would mess up the CLT and common name.

I would say that my 'we' is as appropriate as your 'we'. Both we are subsets of 'many of us agree with him'. I wouldn't bet on the sizes of those subsets. But some people have stated that they do vote neutral in similar cases. I would doubt that your 'we' would be 'most of the users here' depending of course on the definition of 'here'.

Except 'neutral' is not a vote at all; it is the same as not voting. It simply removes the title from your list.

Of course, but it has almost the same effect. On the other hand I'd like to hand out a 'real' neutral vote with a comment which would be seen by the submitter and screeners.
