Reported Problem for The Six Million Dollar Man
posted by KarellenXSTAFFMOD on June 16, 2021 at 3:24 PM
Item: The Six Million Dollar Man
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Bad_image
Extra Details: Could you please advise why the crappy TVDB Bot images keep taking priority as the default image for episodes, even when I down vote them and up vote the better images?
Is there some new glitch on the site that is causing this to happen. Images I have uploaded the last few days that I voted into primary position have now fallen back and TVDB Bot images are back to primary.
Am I just wasting my time uploading better images?
Its not as if I am childishly trying to compete with other members, I am only trying to replace the TVDB Bot images which should only ever be a placeholder until better images are uploaded. I'll go further and say that they should be auto-deleted when other images are uploaded.

Ummm, I must be losing my mind...
There are no tvdb bot images there. I guess someone has deleted them already.
I can't see how I confused TVDBbot with Decaliax. Don't know what I was dreaming... Anyway Season 2 Episode 1 to 6 have smaller images as primary while larger images are available.
I also made a report here for Angel... https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/2426-angel/discuss/60c914c566ae4d007aeefff9 And all the TVDB Bot images have been deleted there also, so it seems that problem is resolved.
And I made a report for Stargate SG-1... https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/4629-stargate-sg-1/discuss/60c91659283ed9006fa9ec6a TVDB Bot images are still there. If you check S02E12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20 for example, you can see the problem. Better quality images are available, but the less desirable TVDB Bot images take first place, so that is what most users will scrape into their library.

Okay, these are not good. I removed a few and will check the rest tonight.
Yes, I removed them because I'm not a fan and we do have much better images.
I believe I've upvoted some of the TMDb Bot images myself in the past. Many of the bigger images added to this show are not very good.

Great that Angel has been fixed. (How can you not be a fan!!!)
Yes, sometimes the bigger images are not that good either. Not a lot of good source material available. Only DVD quality which, nowadays, is not that great anymore.
Thanks for your help @banana_girl :)

OMG, poor choice of words. I was referring to the crappy TVDB Bot images. I used to love that show, but haven't rewatched the DVDs in far too long.
edit: I kept a few images that weren't so bad.
