I think it depends on how busy they are at Invelos. Over Christmas/New Year it took longer to process them.

I hadn't really thought about whether or not it was good or bad to have them processed quickly but thinking about it now, I would've thought that having 5 days wouldn't be a bad idea. It's not too long to wait but does give more people the time to vote and could sway it one way or the other.

Yeh, new profiles are always accepted within 1-2 days, but with updates it always took longer, If I think about it, I would also say 5 days should be fine, 2 days is just too fast in my opinion

I noticed that, too.

In my opinion that should be plenty time for people that want to vote to get here and do so... IMO.

C'mon, really? I have to visit the forums every day just to help improving the database? Granted, I am here every day, but can you really expect that from a wider number of users?

As I said... in my opinion it is. I mean it takes only a matter of minutes to vote on what you want to vote on. If it is up for 2 days... you shouldn't have a problem finding few minutes within that 2 day period to see if there is something up you want to vote on.

And lets face it... how often do they (Invelos) actually make that time limit... 95% of the time they are behind by days.

I think five days in US is enough time because of the amount of users, in smaller countries I think it should be better of with a few more days to include some more users, not everybody is voting every day, and the danger of a bad profile slipping throu is greater.

Exactly. In "small" localities there are usually very few voters, so it's important that all owners get a chance to vote, even the "lazy" users checking contributions just once a week!

I'm much prefering the two day waiting period over the 5-7 it was taking as little as a two weeks ago.

And I personally think it's plenty of time.

My contribution to change Robert Downey Sr. to Robert Downey, Sr. in Magnolia still received 34 votes within the two day period it was contributed and then accepted. Even for a smaller, DVD only release film, such as Cruel Intentions 3, my contribution got 7 votes (that one took about three days, but all 7 votes were cast by the end of the second day).

Five to seven days is too long, and honestly, kind of frustrating. One contribution I had that took that long (to add the entire cast and crew for Six Feet Under: The Complete 4th Season) had 15 votes during that period. If I'm remembering correctly, 13 of those votes came within the first 24-36 hours that I submitted the contribution. Only two more votes came through within the last three days before the contribution was approved.

And on the flip side, when I totally botched a contribution not realizing it was a boxset (the two individual profiles were already in my collection, so I wasn't asked to download them as well, and I skipped right over the boxset part during my audit of the title) it was still properly declined in the two days it took to process.

I so far haven't seen anything that would make me think more time than two days is needed to properly evaluate a contribution.

We had a two-day voting period for a long time and I think it was always enough. It was only the last few months, that they had fallen so many days behind.
