Hello,

on several occasions I recently read about The Legend of the Full Audit.

For I have never seen one with my own eyes:

What exactly is a full audit of a DVD?

I then could do some of those for relaxation in between the thousand contributions in September.

Thank you.

I could be mistaken, but I think a full audit means you check EVERY aspect of a certain DVD's profile and correct/update/add whatever is necessary.

Are you trying to succeed the infamous Tuvok?

If you don't understand the terms used around here, why not look them up in a dictionary? There's no "Legend of a full audit", there are users doing them.

I think you're right - if a user checks and corrects every bit of information, then they call it an audit.

Thank you.

I checked 'The Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current English' before, they describe 'audit' as 'official examination', therefore I asked.

Somehow I liked the idea of doing official examinations here...

I'm doing full audits of every title I own...

It's the only "credible" way to do it. How do you get all the real info if you don't audit your DVD contribution?

Don't need to answer everyone know the answer

Who was he?

Another german user 'we' scared away with 'our' infamous Funny-No-Vote-Strategy?

Not at all; I often check and correct specific aspects of a profile without doing a 'Full Audit' and (for example) checking that the whole cast/crew lists are exactly as on the disc.

... and I've even been known to contribute CoO and SRPs of discs I don't even own... because that data is not on the disc anyway!

Every new DVD that I buy gets a full audit by me.  In most cases, I do my own profiles even before checking to see if they are already in the database.  Even doing updates for submission, I always check the entire profile, albeit not quite as rigoorously as an initial profile.
