GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Saturday, Nov 7, 2009

Well, I've been working on editing the summaries for the shows I edit, but I've been noticing a strange problem every time I submit the changes:

Normally, the changes show up immediately, right? Well, what happens to me is that the changes don't show up, even though I've obviously made changes.

Now here's the part of this that worries me the most. I'd completely forgotten about this by today, so when I didn't see my changes, I just assumed that I'd forgotten to make the changes. However, when I tried resubmitting, I was reminded of that glitch. However, as many of you who are reading this post right now know, doing things like this can be considered "gaming."

I, of course, have no intention of ever gaming the system. That just isn't the kind of person I am, and I enjoy being on this site too much to even want to think of risking the loss of my account. But I am very worried that the TV.com staff may see it as gaming the system, despite the fact that I've clearly stated that I do not, nor will I ever, have any intention of doing so. After all, the staff may consider all of the stuff in this post of mine to be lying, due to the number of users who may or may not have lied about this kind of thing in the past.

If anybody has any advice to give me, please share it, as it would be greatly appreciated. I am in a tough situation, and I really could use some help. Thanks in advance to those of you who share your advice.

I've been editing a show. It just premiered, there's no editor, and only three contributors to the guide. I've added some stuff and the "points" I have earned have never shown up, but I know they are still there. My submissions are on the episode guides and it says it as part of accepted submissions in my contribution page. So I don't know what to do.

This may be the blind leading the blind, but I would try sending personal messages to a few moderators, if you "know" any. danbambridge seems like a pretty nice guy, so perhaps he would give you some advice.

pudgebyrd722: I've had that same problem. You'll just have to deal with it until it goes away. That's what I did. I wish I could tell you differently, but unfortunately, that's life.

m00nshadow: Thanks for your help. I know plenty of moderators, so contacting them shouldn't be a problem.

Well, I have never editted , so I can't give you any advice, I'm sorry ...I totally hate glitches.

I edit so rarely that I hardly even notice the glitches. Hopefully they can be repaired soon.

pudgebyrd722: That's just crazy. I wish I knew just what the heck is going on.

spongebobfan_17: It's okay that you've never been an editor and can't give advice. I understand. I hate glitches, too. I lost about 20 blog posts because of one glitch, and I could have had that emblem for blog entries by now. Trust me, I know what it's like. It's not fun.

Woolsey: You're lucky that you don't have that many problems. As for the glitches being fixed soon, I hope for the same.
