A number of issues:

Raven_Sirius posted 4 years ago

hi Jan,

I only just read the looking for new writers post. Nominally yes I would be interested. I would love to contribute.

However I have an issue, maybe a couple... :)

1. Search algorithm. Goto the 'shows' page. Do a search for Running, scripted, English shows. Within a page or two not only are the listed shows not all running they aren't necessary all English.

2. User icon shows no 'contributor points'. But my page does. Why are there not a plethora of contributions? Because I grew weary of having to wait to go on to finish making contributions- stopped by the must be tested to see if the user in making valid additions (despite paying [in local currency] $80+ a year for access and the benefit.)

The second point is the one that is the major stumbling block with becoming a writer for TvMaze. I would love too, truly... but... inbox me.

:) :)

Hey Raven,

1) Are you sure you had the correct filter? I tried it out couldn't find any examples. Maybe i'm blind, who knows. Can you create a thread and post some examples on the forum?
2) If you have any suggestions on how to improve the system please share them with us so that we can discuss it.
The current system is in place to ensure abuse is blocked from the very beginning and it's been working pretty well at spotting abusers early on.
Every time your level is increased, you're able to do a much larger volume of contributions than previously without having to wait for a checkup.
You're currently at level 2. Once you reach level 5 it becomes unlimited with no direct oversight.
We also have this system so that if a new user needs guidance we'll immediately be able to identify and jump in to help. and if not, they get upgraded to the point where we don't need to look into their contributions anymore.

About showing one's contributions under their thumb. Have you seen juan's number?...

P.S. What do the two points above have to do with writing articles? :)

P.P.S If you're considering writing it's best to talk with Lady Shelley about it. She's the Head writer responsible for the articles section.

P.P.P.S Thanks for the support. I really can't express how grateful we are to everyone who gets premium.

About watchlist status

If you accidentally click one of the icons (watched, acquired,etc) how do you undo it

Just like a light switch. Click on them again. :)

I guess doing that doesn't work on cell phone site will try on computer. I have been trying to click on the icon but won't work

Ow nvm, I thought you were specifically talking about the Premium functionality on the calendar page that lets you manage your shows. You're right that it doesn't work like that everywhere. Go to your watchlist to manage your episodes, from there you can toggle the episode back to unwatched.

Which show is it?

kay1256 posted 4 years ago

it worked on my computer no worries. It does it for all the shows on cell phone site but works like a charm on computer. Thanx for your help

Hello,

I have been using our site for more than 3 years. I am Turkish and I want to use TVmaze on my language.

Could you do multi-language support for TVmaze. I can also prepare Turkish language file.

See you another life brotha.
