AND the correct ONE is not a mismatched set, Unicus. We can argue about semantics and how you see it versus how I I are someone else might see it all day and forever and get nowhere. You voiced your opinion and so did BigDaddy and I happen to agree with him. I don't consider it an improvement, barring some sort of mitigating factors brought up by gard, if the user can provide a back cover, then he can provide a matching front cover.

You are entitled to your opinion, but it is just that YOUR opinion and I will defend your right to it. I also am open to debate and discussion, but you are NOT entitled to assume that YOUR opinion is right, if you are in effect trying to take away my right to my opinion.

Unfortunately when dealing with Covers they are very subjective and there is very little factually that can be pointed at.

Based on your explanations, I'd have to agree with what you did.  Maybe next time you'll put the explanations in your notes as  gardibolt suggested.  It'd show you aren't just being too lazy to scan both covers.  Your explanation certainly settled my curiousity about why you only submitted a back cover.

Actually, I voiced your opinion from a different thread.

But, I thought that nobody was required to contribute more than they wanted?  I thought we had no right to expect complete contributions from people?  I thought the rules did not require that?

I will file this away for future use.  Remember that you said this.

Remember you said this as well.  You sing a different tune when is is your scans getting the 'no' votes.  That being said, there is one thing that is not subjective and can be factually pointed out.  The front cover scan is not the rear cover scan.  If someone contributes the rear cover scan, that is from the DVD in question, it is factually correct and not subjective.  You may not like having a mismatched set, but that is a personal preference.  The cover is still 'factually' correct...which is what the rules call for.

Thought I mentioned it in my notes, but might've just meant to and forgot. This just came up again on Dawn of the Dead Unrated (remake). My front has extra stickers for a bonus disc and didn't look as good as the existing front, so I just subbed the back with an explaination. Everyone loves it but 8ballMax, he hates everything though.   Someday I'll get a yes vote out of him.

Sorry, but no.  As we were told...over and over and over again...there is no requirement in the rules that a contribution must be complete.  If someone chooses to only contribute the back, that is his choice.  If the change is correct, even if it is incomplete, you can't vote 'no'.

In addition, something that has also been expressed before, if the existing image is wrong, the correct one is automatically better.

One final addition.  It doesn't matter what you prefer as that is a personal preference and, as you are so fond of pointing out, you can't vote personal preference. 


!00% correct on all points... we would all prefer it if full upgardes were always submitted but if they are correct and an improvement (in this case any rear cover over none) they MUST be voted Yes or you are voting against the Rules.

Sorry, but I'm a nit picker . If it isn't a significant improvement it'll get a no vote from me every time.

I've noticed that.

It is good to have someone with a super-sharpe eye to keep us in check though. You should be a detective with an eye for detail like that.

I'm not gonna lie, there's been a couple times when I checked how my submissions are fairing, thinking I got it perfect and had covered and checked everything. Then I see a "no" and think, "what in holy f**k could they find wrong with that scan?" Half the time it's you, but you've always provide a perfectly legit answer. I had to bust up laughing at the Wrong Turn 2 "blood isn't as prominet on the keep cover" when I checked it for the 10th time and finally saw it too.

As for Pirates, I'll let it go and see what the final say is. It's down to 40%, I wouldn't bet on it getting approved. Scans will be up at photobucket for a while though. I haven't had to clear anything for space yet, and have lots to clear before those if I ever do. Too bad I deleted all my old scans, I'll start posting newer in the forum for those who want them when it's a split vote like most are.
