I will absolutely vote on anything you put up. and if would bother to look ariond that is was Gerri HERSELF hersel who made the comment. Your take it way to personally, but your scans for Ghoist Rider were nearly identical to what is already there, note the Rules say significant improvement and if I could see any marked improvement, it does not exist. You are coming off like a whiner.

A bit of advice I can give on scans, is to be specific about what is better about it, especially if the scan is already a high rez scan. Point out specific things that can be seen as improvements. If you say something like "Improved cover scan, notice in the bottom left hand corner you can now read the text..." This will improve your chances of it being seen as a significant change.

You know, I was just looking at my cover scan contributions, and there was one that had two dissenters.  Needless to say, one of them was from our hero.

    Improvement, IF any, is insignificant, they
    look near identical, Gerriu please note user
    did not describe improvements IF there are
    any

So now, apparently, Ken and Gerri need to be told what to look for because they might have forgot or might not be doing so with our hero's opinions in mind.

I will say this:  A lot of what is in a cover scan is subjective.  I offer what I have and if they are appreciated then so be it.  If not, then I'll withdraw and no harm, no foul.  I have been told by our hero that he is not being crass or personal, just the (almighty) judge.  Unless the scan is empirically of a lower quality (smaller, grainy, or a victim of severe compression sickness), then vote your opinion and be done with it.  I do not feel a need to justify my cover art submissions because anyone with two eyes can see for themselves and opine as to their druthers.

For my end, I do not think that our hero has any special ownership of this program.  This is my program as much as it is his and any of ours.  My opinion should weigh as heavily as any of our learned forum contributors and it is that opinion - coupled with my devil may care differing and downright disagreeing with the rules - that may upset the status quo.

I have been in combat.  I have saved lives and taken them.  I am actively involved in the security of our country and have done so for the past 26 years.  Trust me when I say that there are far more important issues out there than me not spelling out my deemed improvements in cover scans for the blind out there who will not open their eyes and see.

I am disgusted by little men who hide out in niches and pretend to be in authority in their tiny insular worlds.  If our hero were to disappear today, the program, and these forums, would continue on just fine.  In the Army, this is what we call an "indicator."  When an operation or event would not be the least bit impacted if you were to disappear, this is an indicator that your perceived importance may be overstated.

For me, I know that my disappearance will not cause the slightest hiccup in the DVD Profiler program or world.  I will still contribute my cover scans and the occasional profile update because I enjoy sharing with other people and I appreciate the time that other people spend to keep my database up todate.

A special note to our hero:  You are NOT welcome to judge, opine or even vote on my contributions.  Keep your venom and crotchety attitude far away from me.  When you see my name on a database contribution, don't even look at it.  Just find someone else to play with with.  I am not interested.  I want to enjoy this program again.  Let me find the peace I am looking for.

If you assume that it was me, Cliff then you assume too much. I was mildly amused, but not offended.

I can understand how you could reach that conclusion, Cliff, but it's not my style.
