Verification criteria
I've always wondered what the criteria of the "moderators" are either to verify or not verify snapshots.
There were several occasions were perfectly good shots weren't accepted, yet an hour later I see 10 promotion shots all upped from the same guy right at the end of the line.
You need some more competence in there, for sure.
I mean look at this: http://whatthemovie.com/beta/movies/view/1123
There isn't a scene in that movie even close to that shot. It's mighty frustrating if you carefully choose what to snap to upload and it doesn't get verified but the bullshit gets through.
thanks for your post DerHexer.
Shot #1123 dates back to a time, where we allowed promotional shots.
I've just disabled the movie (here is the url again:
)
We would be glad, if you guys report movies, which violate against the rules (e.g. promotional shots) so we can disable them.
Unfortunatly, we don't have the time, to skim through the past 1000 movies to look for bogus movies.
And to comment your disconcern about the "moderators": We get a lot of movies every day and try to post as many as we can. You are right about the fact, that we need more competence in the moderators team. A team of 10+ people who decide about the movies, which get posted or not would be great. But we have to do the backend programming for this feature first. We are still beta and constantly evolving.
My suggestion for now: Save your pictures, which were rejected and try uploading them at a later time :)
It could be nice to have a status of our uploads (pending, rejected, published...). Useful or not ?
@ Deviant
Put every title ! :D
@lartpenteurk
Ouais, ça serait geekifiant :D (sorry, wanted to speak french just once !)
yes, and this would also avoid multiple uploads of a same pict from a same user.
Another whole bunch of PR shots in there (by the same poster). Since reporting doesn't change anything in my experience, I'll post them here.

How the hell can you not identify those as PR shots?
DerHexer: Thanks again for posting this movies here. Unfortunatly, we only have a chance to track down promotional shots if a lot of people report them.
Sadly, this button is sparly used..
The problem with promotional shots: We can't google every film, and we don't have your talent to recognize a promtional shot on sight :/
I hope a team of moderators, who look over movie snapshots, before they are posted will help.
PS:
I disabled all shots you posted.
Promo.

Grainy but sharp b/w photograph. Can't have it any more obvious

Holy shit. What a great choice for a shot. D'uh.
I'd like to nominate that one for a Golden Razzie please.
