Approximately two blogs ago, I mentioned a notorious Hoarder here at TV.com who has over 200 guides to his credit but has only done the bare minimum on most as far as his editing duties are concerned. It just so happens that I recently purchased all 30 episodes of a show whose guide is edited by The Hoarder. So, naturally, I have been watching the episodes and making submissions to the guide in hopes of giving The Hoarder a bit of a hand. All went well for a while. That is until I passed The Hoarder in CPs (though still nowhere near enough to take the editorship of the guide away from him). This morning I made four more submissions to the guide. One was that of an actress listed twice as a guest star in an episode. Approved no problem. The other three submssions were edits of episode summaries. Big problem, One of the submissions was correcting erroneous information in an episode synopsis. On the other two I added more info to the synopses because they were only one sentence in length. Now those of you who've been here for a while can smell this particular rat a mile away. The Hoarder rejects my three submissions so that he can add them to the guide as his own. Then he games things on the guide to get more points so that whereasyesterday I was two points ahead of him now I'm 43 points behind.
I would bring this to the attention of the staff except that I don't think they'd care about anything I bring up. I'm no idol of theirs. I'll just take a vow to never again submit anything to any of The Hoarder's guides. Let him keep his 200 or so guides with little to no information so he can feel like a big man. Most of his guides are abysmal and he knows it but if it makes him feel good to have them listed on his homepage then who am I to complain? All Hail the Hoarder!
