| | Posted: | | | | Thanks for the clarification Gerri, it'll be interesting to see how the rule is rewritten to make sure we can lose these kind of quote marks but keep the ones that are meant to be part of the title!
I'm so glad I'm not part of the rules committee... |

-Gerri But you declined my contribution last week or so, for the exact opposite reason., My contributions were for quotes to be included, 50% objected, you denied the contributions, then this past week an exisiting title with quotes was challenged, 50% objected and today you denied that one..

| | Posted: | | | | I'm not sure if removing the quotes from the title was a rule violation - or if just changing the title to remove the quotes was. Geriri's comment that "then the title can be changed" leads me to think that it wasn't the quotes that was wrong but that changing the title was.  That might be your contribution was removed last week - because you werre changing the title, not that you were adding quotes to the title. If this is the case, BOTH denials are consistent. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)

| | Posted: | | | | Wouldn't adding quotes be the same as changing the title?? and wouldn't removing quotes be the same as changing the title??
I don't get what you are saying.
Do I have to refer my question back to Page one Post one of this quest?? here goes:
RE:
Thanks to Telecine for the recent submission on this--- BUT WE are in a 'loop' on this, and I for one am pi**ed at this..
Problem is: I submit the two changes for 'quotes' for "Rebel Without A Cause" and "East of Eden",, They get voted down by a percentage %,, (in my case more than 75% ) contribution gets denied.. Fine. ( I submitted the contriibution to get clarification on this ) .
But months ago somehow Skip's contribution for "Mister Roberts" got accepted, and Now with Telecine wanting to change this back to 'normal.., It won't get accepted because of the %percentage of votes ,, and it will get denied.
Therefore of these three WB films of '54 and '55 vintage (I know of no other titles in realm of Warner Brother's mid 50's classic that have this type of cataloguing) Two will not have quotes and One will..
Hey no Fair.. We need a Ruling on this once and for all., This should not be put forth to voting on..,
There has to be a satisfactory end to this dilemma.. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

| | Posted: | | | | This couldn't have a simpler answer, folks.
1) Wait until after the rule is changed before you submit any more "" changes.
2) If you submit any "" changes make sure it follows the current rule.
3) If you are considering #2, see #1. | | | | Dan | | | | Last edited: by Dan W |

I can't say I agree with your intrepretation of the rule Gerri, but 16 pages of discussion at least points out that some clarification is in order. I look forward to the new rule. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

Skip Wow, I'm surprised at the people who will not allow others to admit to having a different interpretation of a vague rule. I would have been surprised if Mark or Unicus had said that they didn't accept Gerri's interpretation and would continue to contribute in violation of it.

Too right, Gunnar. There is a BIG difference between disagreeing and not accepting. The fact that I don't agree with Gerri's interpretation doesn't mean I won't accept it. As I have said time, and time again, this is their program and they are the final word when it comes to the rules. I may not agree, but I will follow their directives. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

I still maintain that Rule is not vague. Two words DO NOT are very clear, therre was spin and rationalization to an extreme degree to ignore the prime directive of the Rule., Do NOT.
If you try hard enough you make believe any Rule is vague, I see it every day in the news and every day here.
