As far as I am concerned my vote is between me and the contributor. I am not impressed that they are now openly public, as I was not keen on the "back door" visibility. As such, I am not interested in PMs from other voters and don't want them - even if I have made a mistake.

I am however more than happy to discuss with the the contributor.

Quoting northbloke:

Maybe we should have a policy where, if a user notices an error in another user's vote, then they PM the contributor and suggest that they get in touch with the other user.

That wouldn't work. Example: I submit a profile with some wrong data, 22 people vote yes, one person sees the wrong info, pms me about it and says "By the way, you might want to tell the 22 people that voted yes to your contribution that they voted wrong."  I like my wrong data, I'm not going to turn around and tell everyone to vote no to my own contribution. OTOH, if I agree that my contribution is bad, I'll fix it and everyone will have to vote again anyway.

I don't mind if I have made a mistake voting if another user sends me a polite pm telling me what is wrong (or not wrong) with the contribution that might reverse my vote. If I agree I'll change my vote. If I disagree, depending on the error, I may respond with my reasoning for my vote. If I don't respond, I don't want to see another pm from the same user asking me why I haven't changed my vote yet. I don't recall ever sending anyone a pm about a vote (3rd party) and I don't think I'll start unless it is a huge, blatant rule violation. If it's just a little mistake and it gets accepted, it will get fixed eventually.

I have been "no voted" on a few submissions, and all for a good reason - except one, and that was a misunderstanding about the submission

I have found the use of PM's helpful and also it is nice to say "Oopps, my bad" if the No vote shows an error in my submission, which leads to a better profile in the end, and that is the Main Objective

I do not take it personally, and I hope that others feel the same way, if/when I vote No

Some of you that believethat your vote is between you and the Contributor are forgetting that an errant Yes vote that allows bad data into the Db affects ALL of us. So all I can say is PAY ATTENTION to what you are doing, especially if share this opinion make SURE that you are voting correctly.

Like I said, it is between me and the contributor. Quit your preaching, you're in no position to be dictating to others what to do as just one of the users.

Then make sure your votes are correct sir, because your errant vote affects me and everyone else as well.

And again with the dictating. MYOB.

And what errant votes incidentally?

Sure seems like dictating to me. Like I said, MYOB.

Andrew, I am not dictating, and if you tell me that all your votes  are 100% accurate each and every time I will be a trifle skeptical.

Did I say that? Nope don't think so, please don't put words into my mouth.

Not geting "pissy", just asking you to MYOB - which are clearly unable to do. But nothing new there.

Generally speaking you won;'t get anything from me unless I have already contacted the Contributor FIRST.

I don't want anything from you full stop - I am not interested.

I am not even tracking user data right now, there is too much of it. But once it slows down I will again, and yes your attitude and others views on this affects how carefully I will,view any Contributions that come in front of me. Why? Too reasons, in my view your attitude is uppity and demonstrates to me the user does not CARE whether or not he allows bad data to go into the database, so....it means i watch closer. <shrugs>

Ah, the guardian of the database strikes again! Look after yourself, and let the rest of us look after ourselves.

You have your opinion and welcome to it. I have MINE and I am entitled to it. Thank you.

You certainly are, but you are not entitled to dictate to me what to do when it comes to contributing or voting, or anything else. And no amount of eye rolling changes that fact old man.

Oh that is sooo wrong!
