honestly, it was when i first got the program back in 2006 - and it wasn't obvious to me why they were declined, but there was NO cast or crew info.  i was NOT about to type all that info in manually!  LOL!  i'm SURE there were 'rules' i hadn't followed, otherwise why would they all be rejected, right?  i just remember not knowing back then what i had done improperly.  it was basically disc ID, name, year, runtime, cover, and synopsis.  (if i recall correctly...)  you know, just enough basic info to get the title in the database.  but, like i said, it wasn't obvious why they were getting rejected, and it was pretty few and far between to even HAVE to contribute back then!  it's fine, i guess.  it just sucks to put in all this work for myself and NOT be able to contribute.

and what makes it even MORE stupid: NOW I CAN'T!  (because i've filled in missing info with CastCrewEdit2...)

right?

@Lowpro and @mreeder50

i just wanted to THANK YOU for suggesting CastCrewEdit2!  i've spent the last few weeks *straight* filling in the missing info in my database.  ugh, WHAT a task, but, worth it for me.  (i've got +7000 profiles...)

It's a user contributed database and we all go through that with the database. If you're not contributing then it means someone else would have to. It doesn't help if more people choose not to contribute and just take from the system.


yea.  you are correct.  and it SUCKS, doesn't it??  i can't remember how many i profiles i've submitted, but i can tell you that ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of them were rejected.  after a while, being told "NO" over and over, i stopped trying.  and now NO ONE gets ANY benefit of the effort i've put in for the better part of two decades!  and that SUCKS.

yea, but you are failing to realize: i bet people (MYSELF INCLUDED) would rather have info in the profile than NO INFO WHATSOEVER.  i, too, have been using it since it was Invocative.  i've submitted several profiles back in the day and they were rejected.  so i said to myself, fine - i won't help out.  now, for the last 18+ years, if it's not in the database, i have to go through the pain of putting in BASIC info and cover image myself.  (no cast info, which REALLY sucks...)

i'd just be nice to have the info there, THEN if someone sees a mistake, and wants to fix it - GO FOR IT!

pulling from IMDB or even TMDB would be better than NOTHING.
