So my problem is that one of my D&D LFR characters has some.... erm ... mistakes in his reported games. One game is missing entirely and anotherone is reported twice (the second was actually played with a different character, small glitch by the dm i guess). I filled out an appeal form a few months ago but I never heard from that again.
Basicaly I have no problems with that since I have all my information on paper (praise the adventure log) but as soon as someone takes a closer look at the information provided online (for whatever reason) this is bound to cause problems.
Any advice what I could do? Thanks for the help
But, no one but you has the ability to look at your online character tracker. And, it's widely known that the online tracker info is far from perfect -- even the campaign staff says, "consider the online data to be a backup". So, I honestly wouldn't expect that it'd be "bound to cause problems."
In short...I wouldn't sweat it too much.
Like I said, an appeal has already been filled out (about a few months ago) but I never heard from that one again. :P
Yeah thanks.

Its really not something I would worry about. It was a neat idea at first but a nightmare when put to use (the character tracker that is). Just keep your paper information up to date and your all good.
When that will be, what that entails, etc? I don't know.
At the very least it means that they're well aware of the problem and (hopefully) considering fixes.
One of my characters shows going through WEEK1-1 to 1-3 twice, all because both the site and the GM reported it. Sent in an appeal on it, no change last time I looked.
And, of course, it is hard to file an appeal for those games that have never been reported at all. I hit up the event organizer, he promises to input it, and still nothing...
Unfortunately, at present, the appeals process appears to be a black hole.

I seem to recall something being said at DDXP that the reporting and appeals processes were being addressed.
Personally, I'd like to see DCI adopt a system like that which Upper Deck uses.
With UD's "MANTIS" application I setup the event (much like DCI Reporter does), and fill out all the reporting in the software locally. Then, when the event is over, I hit a button, and it uploads the results/reporting for me. No mucking about on web pages or the like.
Then, because each event has a sanctioning ID that makes it unique, if I find that I've reported something wrong, I can go back into that event (a copy of it is saved on my PC) make changes, and re-report the event - the new results over-riding the old.
The only change I'd make would be to limit "user fixes" to a month or less - after which the appeals process would need to be used (currently I think I can change any MANTIS event - going back years if I have the files - which could lead to fraud).
This approach would, I think, lead to faster data entry for things like large events (conventions, Worldwide D&D Game Days, etc), reduce the load on the appeals workers, and empower us to fix our own mistakes - which I think would lead to more corrections being done, instead of Senior GM's shrugging their shoulders and writing off the process "since nothing will get done".
Dare to dream, I guess.
