Big Suggestion- Receive email confirmation for Contribution but also when accepted or rejected

Yes, you are right and I apologize, I type it on smartphone keyboard!

Snorrrrrk.

I hear you @Owen_Rees on the several items per our within a single Contribution issue, but your concern is *unfounded*. I have a basic enough knowledge of code, html, Perl/php.. to know that within a single grouped encapsulated Contribution "job" if you will, the items could easily be basically tokened or uniquely numbered. Once all items have been *binarily* accepted *or* rejected, on that last processed one a simple ritual running-every-time software check would kick an opted-in email to the Original Submitter giving the summary result.

The trouble with apparently simple solutions is that they do not scale to the data rates IMDb is dealing with. A database search for pending items from the same submission whenever an item reaches its final state is possible of course but given how many items are processed it would add a significant load.

By the way, I do not think I am giving too much away if I say that this would be Java and SQL rather than perl (and certainly not PHP).

Eye roll, heh.

...fwiw this feature would inherently make IMDb a much STICKIER website, (produce more banner ad revenue), would foster more discussion and updating and public interaction, fixing errors, and lastly ....getting new movies and shows added where AHEMMM, the shows' online editor staffers are lazy and haven't gotten around to creating entries from scratch in IMDb.... ;--) -Peter in San Diego CA USA!
