It was originally released with a slip cover thus that's how it needs to be in the database. You are free to keep the scans you made of the inner cover local.

As for the comments, there's a limited amount of space so it may come off as rude but we need to keep it concise and sometimes people just type something simple and don't mean to be rude, but that's the nature of message boards, unfortunately.


Edited to say that we all make mistakes. Heck, my first contribution was to add cast and crew to a box set so it happens, lol.

Hello Jimmy,

I also voted on your contribution and I hope my reply didn't offend you. I always try to explain my reasons for declining a contribution in a clear yet gentle way.

I can understand your confusion, though. I had the same thing with the US release of Terminator Salvation BD. I preordered at Amazon some month and a half before release date and mine came without a slipcover. It would be logical to assume there wasn't one so imagine my surprise when I saw contributions with slipcovers.

I think in general, it's safe to assume that if there is a contribution with a slipcover, that that is the original first release. In general, slipcover releases are for first press and disappear lateron. I've personally never seen an original release that came without a slipcover and got one lateron.

So in general, when I don't have slipcover and see a contribution with a slipcover, I tend to accept the contribution with slip cover.

What I usually do is keep such scans in my local database only and lock that part of the profile. It's also a nice suggestion to add it to the thread Chris mentioned. In fact, I should submit my re-release scans as well 

Hope I could explain my thoughts clearly enough

So, I guess all I'm saying is...politeness counts!

Unfortunately there are some users who seem to be incapable of being polite with "no" votes. All I can say is I hope you use your red arrow on those you feel deserve one and don't take them personally.
There is no way of telling if a DVD ever came with a slipcover when you buy the one without in a shop and the slipcover checkbox is only a small tickbox and easily missed when you're concentrating on cover scans and not the rest of the profile. People should take that into account when writing their vote reasons.
