I have no idea what's currently going on at Invelos, but obviously there is something terribly wrong, and I have to say I'm pretty annoyed. 

What happened ? I contributed a crew list for "Friends: The Complete Fourth Season" (UPC 085392424825), complete with episode dividers and detailed contribution notes (stating that I took the infos directly from the episode credits) - just as I have done dozens of other times for lots of other TV series (and even for the first three seasons of "Friends") before. The vote result was 36 "Yes" (some with nice comments, thanks for that!) and 0 "No".

Now guess what: The contribution was declined with the following reason:
"The contributed profile includes information not applicable to box set parents. Please see the contribution rules for details on proper handling for box sets."

I can only consider this to be a bad joke, otherwise it would be a total outrage. Is it really possible that there are currently screeners at work for Invelos who don't even know the most basic rules ? Yes, I understand that the screeners are human and make mistakes, but a ridiculous decline like this is simply unacceptable.

What makes it even worse is the fact that a fellow user in the German profiler forum reported exactly the same happening to one of his contributions a week ago - something I could hardly believe when I read it.

Ken, Gerri, I really don't consider myself to be a whiner, but let me make this very clear: I put a lot of time and effort into these TV series contributions, and I'm one of very few user left who are willing to do this work. Please improve the skill level of your screeners immediately - otherwise I'm outta here. 

waiting for the other shoe to drop ..........

er, I mean for Skip to weigh in

Just double check everything and recontribute.  Or send Gerri a PM and ask for more details.

Yep, it's already recontributed and up for votes.

I had this happen with my contribution for the Target exclusive Office: Season 3 (UPC 025195-018937) profile. I duplicated the cast and crew from the Office: Season 3 UPC 025195-008204) profile and got the same declined reason as well. I am going to resubmit it again. perhaps it will go through fine this time.

You could always PM Ken and might approve it, if you mention what you said before. Also include the UPC of the set, so they know what you are talking about.

It seems like theres some sort of automated thing that flags boxsets, when they have info that dont belong to movie box sets. I think this is bad, since a lot of TV series released in non english countries might not be easy to identify as TV series to the screeners.

Just curious was the title of the profile Friends? ...and did it have TV as a genre?

The profile contributed by Tigi was the R1 US profile of Friends: Season 4. Yes, it has the genre 'Television'.

Ummm, Tigi, I haven't heard Ken or Gerri talk about screeners. To my knowledge there are two screenere handling all the work...Ken....and.....Gerri. I repeat they er handling ALL of it,

Very interesting sir, may I ask you for the source of this information? Are we really sure that they don't have any help?
