I would like to request that if you have custom roles setup in the crew that the profile update does not overwrite your custom roles.

since you can contribute and they are local then I feel they should be preserved when a crew update is applied.

Custom roles you add will never be deleted by profile updates. The same goes for custom genres, and anything  you enter in the personal information.

If you contribute a profile anything present in this fields is also omitted from contribution.

I was always under the impression that custom crew were overwritten by profile updates.

Edit: I've just done a test and added custom crew to three profiles that were due to have crew updates. And I'm afraid Leo is right; the custom crew were removed on all three profiles.

So yes, I agree that custom crew should be ignored completely by the update process.

I was also under the impression that custom genres are also overwritten (although not tested).

I'm neutral because I always update all of my profiles manually, but I agree it would be helpful for those who don't like to do this and I assume this is the majority.

Agreed.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Agreed.  They should also be ignored in any comparison window (i.e. not flagged <!> ) .
