Crazy credits item rejected despite screenshots of evidence - vague unhelpful error "does not meet guidelnes"

240811-114117-363000

  • "From A to B: Tales of Modern Motoring" (1994)
    • Crazy Credits - Add
      • The contributors to each episode were listed in a "producers would like to thank" section of the credits as reproductions of their (sometimes illegible) signatures.

      • explanation
        Here are successive screens from one of the episodes. The other episodes were a similar style. https://i.postimg.cc/V6vt6HM5/A-to-B-1.png https://i.postimg.cc/sXLhZ99m/A-to-B-2.png https://i.postimg.cc/Hn770c6g/A-to-B-3.png https://i.postimg.cc/JtVHprFB/A-to-B-4.png https://i.postimg.cc/v81P20jQ/A-to-B-5.png https://i.postimg.cc/Vs3KxjQX/A-to-B-6.png https://i.postimg.cc/GhGXdHdV/A-to-B-7.png https://i.postimg.cc/VkwD6mN6/A-to-B-8.png https://i.postimg.cc/wjkFRZtk/A-to-B-9.png (start of scrolling credits)

        It's been rejected with "does not meet guidelines". Be specific! What precisely have I done wrong? Seems perfectly valid and sensible to me. If I need to modify the text for yet another re-submission of it (I forgot the evidence the first time), I need to know what to modify. <deity> save us from vague excuses ;-)

Hi @martin_695862,

Thank you for your problem report.

I have verified that this contribution was declined due to a processing error, thought to be a breach of our guidelines. However, it is acceptable and I have re-submitted the contribution on your behalf and approved it.

I hope this helps!

Many thanks. I presumed it was technical error rather than something I'd done wrong. I imagine you're looking into why there was a false trigger.

It was a really naff and unhelpful way of crediting the programme participants, because some of the names were completely illegible. One of those "too clever by three-quarters" ideas by a producer somewhere! I thought "this fits the crazy credits section very well" so I was surprised that it was *apparently* in breach of guidelines.

Hi @martin_695862,

Yes, it was just a misunderstanding of the policy in place for Crazy Credits and Trivia. The processing error has been flagged for review.

Thanks!
