I am not attempting to throw anyone under the bus, because I am guilty of this as well.  There is a current IR having to correct the numbers in a 280+ card base set, converting from NNO to the actual numbers.  An IR went through last year that changed all the originally correct numbers to NNO, but the intent of that IR was to change one of the inserts to NNO.  Three L8s approved that IR in error.

As mentioned, I am guilty of looking at the names of the originator and/or second approver and, knowing their reputation, just clicking approve.  But the three approvals are in place to make sure these time consuming mistakes don’t happen.  

When there is a string of 100 IRs all doing the same card movement or image movement, I understand checking the first one or two and then approving the rest.  But we should be double checking each different type of IR as they appear.

Thanks for reading.

Tim, you are 100% correct. This was completely my mistake to begin with. I could give many excuses why this happened, but in the end, it was my mistake that caused this. As soon as I saw that, I jumped in to help out best I could. My sincere apologies for causing this mix up.

Thanks Dan - I was one of the ones that approved your proposed fix on the original IR, but never got a chance to help clean it up because you and another L8 were already taking care of it!

Dan, I was not calling anyone out as I mentioned.  Appreciate the help by you and FreehanSolo on fixing this.  Just thought it was worth a reminder to the L8s that anyone can make a mistake and that is why Admin set up the checks in the system.

I know you weren't, and I really appreciate that.

However, I wanted to acknowledge the source of the mistake (me) and that it truly is imperative to ensure that what we're approving is correct. It is also imperative to ensure that if you're proposing a change (such as this case) that you're doing so on the correct set or at the right level. That's something *I* didn't do. We have a proposal in the New Feature Tracker to give us the ability to move IRs to the set or card they need to be at to have the proper tools. This was a case where having that would have potentially helped. Also, it was during a time where I was resolving many IRs in a day (or at the same time, some stay "hanging", which is another, unrelated issue I have with the system). Again, regradless of the excuses I can name here, I messed up. If you (or anyone else) comes across a situation like this where I caused an issue, please drop me a message so I can fix it. I don't want to cauuse anyone else here any undue work. Thank you for the work you did to fix my error. I appreciate that as well.

Regardless of the mistakes I appreciate everything you guys do to make this site what it is.
