  Going Dark on Sep 30th

  Yes, I will be gone dark and not logging into the site on Sep 30th. This is being done to protest incompetent site changes, which I aalso heartily dislike. For more info about "going dark" refer to Glenn11523's blog:

  Can't Moderate

  If you have subs and you are waiting for me to moderate them, I would like to let you know that the system will not let me moderate them at this time. Sorry, but this problem seems to have been caused by the recent site upgrade.

  Quotes... Quotes... Quotes

  Personally I love quotes. I love reading them and I love creating them. The quotes on the episode guides in this site are some of the best things about a show guide. Frankly, I also love that some episodes in show guides have a lot of quotes. This does not bother me at all.
  
  What I don't like are quotes that are incomplete, don't make sense, or don't stand alone outside the context of the dialogue of the episode. The other thing I don't like is when quotes are inaccurate.
  
  So, if you are going to submit quotes, at least make sure they are accurate. This is pretty simple to do... you watch the episode on your VCR/PVR and you transcribe the words that are said by the character(s). Most times you have to back up and check the wording, but it is worth it... you get a wonderful and accurate quote that you can submit to a show guide.
  
  As an editor I have often accepted quotes without checking them for accuracy. Sure, I check them for spelling and formatting but I do not personally replay the episode and check the wording. Lately I have started to do this and I have found many inaccuracies in quote submissions. So, I have had to deny many quotes recently.
  
  Here is the bottom line -- If you submit inaccurate quotes you might as well not submit the quote at all. If you copy your quotes from other sites and submit them on this site, you are not doing this site a service. Please submit accurate quoates.
