GameSpot Question

Aloha Everyone! :)

I have a question about GameSpot. Does anyone know how a user is able to submit a game that isn't on GameSpot's database? Reason is, I have a couple import games that are not on GameSpot's database. I would like to see them added to their database if it is at all possible.

Other than that, I see that I went up 12% on TV.com for my current Level 1. I wish they get this bug fixed, as there are a couple guides I like to make submissions for. Since this strange bug, I only had 1 submission in my queue so far. Thanks goodness that a user that has been a problem is affected by the bug as well.

Thanks for stopping and have a wonderful day! :)

What the...

Aloha! :)

I noticed that yesterday I was at Level 43 (35%) K.I.T.T., and now I see that I'm at Level 1 (10%) Weather Man. I lost 42 levels! I say that this is a bug, and hope it is fixed.If it isn't, I know there are going to be a lot of users ticked because of loss levels.

Anyway...sorry for the lack of blogging. Another part of the site has gone haywire as it causes words to be mushed together...i.e. Havea niceday.

Well...thanks for stopping and have a wonderful weekend! :)

In a Pickle

Aloha Everyone! :)

I think that I'm in a situation in which a submitter may try to take advantage of me. I received a bunch of submissions from this particular submitter to have to reject his/her subs most of the time for not following the submission guidelines for adding a new episode. I have asked the submitter to resubmit as long as they follow the guidelines. Well, this user got snippy in the comments and still failed to follow the guidelines, so I rejected the submissions. Later on, the submitter started to follow the guidelines but still didn't actually provide a direct link (url) to the source, causing me to search pages till I find that the info is correct. Now, I receive a submission with the same issue of no direct link, causing me to search for it so it could be accepted. I therefore accept the submission, and was even polite to fix the errors in the summary. Well, come to find out...the edits I make didn't take causing this user to make an edit submission to fix his/her error. I think what may end up happening is, the user may end up taking advantage of me, hoping that I'd accept his/her submission not noticing his/her errors or that I'd fix them and the system doesn't take my edits; this way, they can make an edit to their own sub. What is sad, as I have the sub still sitting in my queue, the submitter knows of the error, but there is still an error in the summary. Therefore I'd have to reject the submission. My problem is...what to say in the rejection? The submitter knows that editors can fix issues in the submission, and this particular submitter may end up getting snippy again if I'd reject his/her sub.

Thanks for stopping and have a wonderful day! :)

P.S. Anyone else notice the strange bug causing words to be mushed together despite the typist put a space in between the words? I noticed this with TV.com and GameSpot.

I Thought That TV.com...

Aloha Everyone! :)

I thought that TV.com allowed uses who are not the editor of a show guide that has an editor to be able to edit the show stars. Did that ever happen? Reason is, I noticed a show that has an editor that has cast members listed twice for the same role with the same person guide. I was going to remove the duplicates, but when I click on edit, it takes me to the TV.com homepage. I do know how get around editing the bio for guides with editors, as it's real easy to do if you know where to go.

Anyway...thanks for stopping and have a wonderful day! :)

Nintendo DS Browser...is it worth it?

Aloha Everyone! :)

Yesterday...I purchased the Nintendo DS Web Browser (DS). This is ajust some information for thosewho maybe interested into buying one. The browser itself has a MSRP of $29.99 US and can be found in retailers like Best Buy, EB Games, GameStop, and even Walmart. When I started playing with the browser, I first had to establish the connection of where I'd be using the browser. Since I started using it at home, the system hadto search for my wireless connection. You can also use the browser at places like McDonalds, libraries, and other places that have Wi-Fi. When the system found my wireless router, I was good to go on surfing the net. I first went to GameSpot and was able to find that I was able to log into my account. The browser itself doesn't support video or sound, so that means that YouTube and sites that have video andsoundwill not work, but you are able to go to the site but can't see the video or hear sound. It also seems that the browser doesn't support flash, but does support java script. The pages do load really slow if there are a lot of imagesto the site, but you are able to turn off the images. You can check your email at sites like Yahoo Mail and Hotmail. You can't however uses instant messaging. Overall, it the browser is worth it if you plan to travel to places that have Wi-Fi since the DS is portable. However if you are using it for home, you are better off sticking with the PC.

Thanks for stopping! :)

Unfair Rejection By My Eyes

Aloha! :)

I recently made a submission to add a new episode to a show guide providing a very highly reliable source, but the submission was rejected.  I followed the submission guidelines for adding a new episode since you have to have 2 out of the following 3: Title, Summary, and Air Date.  My submission contained all 3.  The editor didn't like the summary and rejected the submission based upon that.  No...the summary wasn't a copy and paste job, so that isn't the reason.  Still...by the guidelines, the submission should still have been accepted since I did have the title and air date.  All the editor had to do is put summary coming soon or the like if he/she didn't like the summary.  I just have this feeling that it could be submission stealing and the editor will add it later on if I should forget to add it when the episode is more towards its air date.  I sent the editor a PM to have no reply back stating that he is in the wrong by my eyes since I did follow the submission guidelines of having 3 out of 3 instead of 2 out of 3, and since he didn't like the summary he could have edited it by putting coming soon.

Thanks for stopping and have a wonderful day! :)

I Just Can't Take it Anymore

Aloha!

To whomever is bullying me on another forum outside of TV.com wanting me to retire from "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody", you may just get your wish.  I can't take it anymore...what every I did to your subs is me following the editor guidelines.  I know exactly why you don't want to use TV.com is the fear of me reporting you for flaming...but having to do it via another site is immature.  I guess if I'm not a good editor then...I'll just retire later on.

 

Wow...Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Aloha Everyone! :)

Just wanted to point out that I went and saw Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End today, and all I can say is...wow...a great installment to the series.  I'm not going to say what the movie was about but it did contain many humorous parts...and...[spoiler] left open for a sequel [/spoiler]

That's all...thanks for stopping and have a wonderful day! :)

New Levels and Some Interesting News

Aloha Everyone! :)

Sorry for not blopping by lately as I have been ill the past couple of days, that is the reason for not being on at all Tuesday.

Anyway...I noticed yesterday that I finally made it to Level 43 at TV.com and Level 25 at GameSpot.

On to the news...I received a PM from a submitter about a rejected submission, since he/she failed to provide a link per the guidelines on new episodes (title, air date, and summary).  After reading the PM, it sounds as if the submitter is having issues with another editor taking his/her information for his/her gain.  What is odd is that it is the same editor that I have been receiving PM's about various reasons.  I'm just shocked that nothing has been done yet.

That is all...thanks for stopping and have a wonderful day! :)

So Long, Farwell, and Goodbye...You'll Be Missed

Aloha Everyone! :)

It's a sad day as today is missribs last day as a TV.com/MP3.com/FilmSpot Staff member.  As most of you already know...our beloved missribs is parting ways, as she'll be an employee for YouTube.  Missribs has helped me out a lot of times during her reign as top gal, and I'm very grateful for all of her help.  As many will say...

Good luck missribs with all of you new job at YouTube and your future endeavours! :)

P.S. I created a tribute post which can be found via this link: A Tribute to Missribs
