I finally figured out why I couldn't post in the forums or create new blogs, something to do with the preference settings. Anyway now to the blog.

Editorship responsibilities:

I will still try to keep the shows I am editor for up to date, see previous blog for the list, but with the new design and the buggs make it more complicated.

Rejecting Submissions:
Right now I can't reject any submissions that pass through my blog, guess Im not the only one with this problem, so the only option I can think of is to clarify why it can't be accepted and then shortly delete it from the guide, the only problem is that 1) I don't want to get the submitters mad at me and (2) this gives them points for having a badly done submissions, man this sucks. If anyone knows a better way please let me know.

Bugs and Errors:

Thier is a tons of buggs and error roaming around this site right now and little by little they are starting to be fixed, very slowly. To see a list of errors check out the redesign feedback board, don't have time to list them all. A few things fixed that I have noticed is that I can post in blogs and forums again, had to turn off the Use WYSIWYG Editor option in my prefs, under board. Also, the formatting of the homepage and other pages is being fixed, grammer wise and function wise. Slowly by slowly, day by day, this site will be in running order again, its the meantime thats going to suck. Leaving:
I know alot of people who are packign thier virtual bags and leaving this site because of all of this but I want to ensure everyone that I am here to stay and work through the headache. For those leaving you can keep in contact if you want by email, see below.

Contact:
My contact information is by email

Thanks, gatz1000

Hi Gatz1000, I wanted to acknowledge your comment from my blog. You asked what we hope to accomplish, I have posted a new blog to explain exactly that. Please read it. Its long, but it explains things. I have already heard from a number of staff and volunteers here that they actually believe that this is the only thing that is likely to get attention, since they are routinely being told by management that "its not that big a deal" and/or "it will quickly blow over". We are not looking to roll out the old format, that will never happen. We do want immediate changes to the existing format (including getting rid of the blinding white background). We want to send a message as to just how many of us feel disenfranchised by the way in which they rolled out this new change with so little actual input from us, the real users and LIFE of tv.com. What we want is some actual attention to our valid issues and not merely lip service. And most importantly, we want to send a message that before you do something like this in the future again, find out what we (the actual users) want. Not some focus group, not some design team and not some execs who never log onto the site and actually use it! Involve the people who usage of the site makes YOU money! Hundreds of thousands of hours of unpaid labor have gone into making this the most comprehensive website of television on the web. Its life-blood is its users and we deserve much more respect than your (CBS) actions gave us. That's why we're mad, that's why we protest, that's why we won't be here on Sept. 30!!! Thank you for spreading the word!!
