Put the title to whatever you want

I really don't care, all you are out to do is create arguments where there shouldn't be any.

You don't care about anyone elses opinion, you are not interested in healthy dabate, you just want to troll.  Your last post just proves that.

I would say we just need to "agree to disagree" about what rules could be applied, but that is not in your mind set.  You would rather just fuel the fire rather than be constructive

Instead of contributing to this endless debate I decided to spend my time on more constructive endeavors. So far I've updated 25 profiles which needed 100s of corrections.

Imagine how much better the database would be if every person stopped this discussion and put their time into contributing and fixing other profiles.

Well said and very true

Common sense does nothing here. A look at the credit block or the rest of the cover or ever the film credits will tell you what the title is.

We are not "allowed" to look at credit block or film credits if there are no symbols, which is the case here (as in "Nude Nun...").
"Use the title from the front cover"
"For titles which include periods, dashes, or other symbols, ..." cannot be applied in any of examples shown on this page.

On my last examples, I see no symbols, and I do not hesitate since my "common sense" tells me what is the title.

On Addicted2DVD example, I still see no symbol, and the use of colors may lead to "Jump 21 Street". Since there is no s in Street, I could open a poll to know which is the "cover title", but my common sense will suggest "21 Jump Street", which matches with rules.

About "Nude Nun..." I still do not see any symbol, and the only solution is to choose where to put the S. If rules authorized to use common sense, I would immediately add a second s, but this is not allowed.

I guess we have this narrowed down now. Surfeurs understanding of "symbol" is the problem here. A symbol is a character that is not a standard character on the keyboard thus it has to be converted to a standard character to be typed into the title field. All your samples work perfectly with the rules.

Please be so kind as to show me the rule that says I am not allowed to look, say, at the spine to determine how to interpret the text/artwork that is on the front of the case.  I have looked, and can't find it.

Really, I don't need to look at the spine to know that the title of the movie is "Nude Nuns with Big Guns"  . See how I wrote the title of this thread.

What I meant is that rules ask to take DVD title from the front cover, and to take it from elsewhere only if there are symbols , which is not the case here.

Why is it you keep asking what you should do?

You refuse to listen to anyone and look at other viewpoints....Do you really get that big of a kick out of trolling on and on about the rules.

Any point you were trying to validly make was lost pages ago.  Now you are just trying to prove that you can take an absolute literal point about one rule and whine about it.

I need to add that I don't need to look at the spine either, but I do use the spine to verify my opinion in case someone tries to claim it is something else...as was the case here.

Yes, I refuse to consider a S as a symbol.
And you, do you listen to people who say that a S is a letter, and do you consider their viewpoint ?

We clearly disagree because you refuse to admit that you are bending the rules to obtain the correct result. But really, when Ken wrote "include periods, dashes, or other symbols,.. " do you think he had in mind that big letters are symbols as periods and dashes ? Then he gives examples how to convert symbols :"convert the symbol to a standard character such as ".", "-", or "*"  : There is no "S" nor any letter or number in his examples...

Yes I do look at other peoples view points, just most of the other viewpoeints in this thread end up with the same result as I have.

I think if you look at my history on this forum you will see many times I will disagree, but be swayed to a different direction and in the end go with the majority and support it if  that is the will of the community....you on the other hand I cannot say that about  , at least form my experience since I have been here.

Also the use of "other" and "such as" are not all inclusive and nor did he intend that to be.  I personally think we can fall back on that rule in general since the artistic rendition of the title cannot be pkaced in a text field.

But again,you are just trying to prove that you can take an absolute literal point about one rule and whine about it.  Trolling for reactions.

And shame on me for feeding the troll.

Like I said in a previous post.  This thread is not about you asking for direction and opinions on what and why that direction should be.  You are just trying difficult makeing an issue out of a non-issue to try and make a point about strict interpretation of the rules.  Rules which we all know you don't like.
