Well, according to the revised rules:
DVD Title from DVD Cover "Zombie Holocaust" Original Title, first from Credit Block or if no title in credit block, from film's credits. So Original title would be "Zombie Holocaust: Dr. Butcher M.D." from the credit block. You keep getting this wrong. The Rules actually say "Copyright Title" not "Credit Block". | | | Hal | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

So because you say it is incorrect and should have been changed in the Rules, then we should naturally accept that.
I stand corrected. | | | Hal |

I stand corrected. It was brought up in another thread Hal. I wasn't the only one that pointed out that fact...so don't lay it at my doorstep. | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

| Posted: | | | | I can't speak to what may have been brought up elsewhere, and frankly, it doesn't matter.
If Ken needs to change the verbiage in the Original Title section, then we need to encourgae him to do so.
Until then, we are left only with what it actually says.
That's why I started the poll in the Contribution Rules section. | | | Hal |

You can add me as another person who thinks you are not looking at the same rules. The rules show an update at 12 October with the new rules being: Original Title The Original Title field serves two general purposes, but in both cases allows for the tracking of the original feature title. Use the title from the copyright notice if available, otherwise from the film's credits. In cases where the title is the original title, leave the Original Title field blank. The highlighting is what Ken has done. Not me. | | | Paul |

| Posted: | | | | I was wondering why people kept going on about the 'credit block' when I could see no mention of anything like that in the rules. | | | Guns don't kill people. Hammers do. |

| Posted: | | | | Simple. Some users take argumenting as a sport at this time this the "title" game, so everytime they can they show up and play. |

That's why I started the poll in the Contribution Rules section. And your previous submission was declined for the very same reason this one will be, irregardless of the spin you included in your "edited" contribution notes. | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

| Posted: | | | | If quoting the exact wording of the Rules is "spin" what do you call quoting a fabricated Rule as your reason for voting "no"? Your reason for voting "no": "Rules state to take Original Title from Credit Block first:" Actual Rule: "Use the title from the copyright notice if available, otherwise from the film's credits." | | | Hal |

You cannot offer a reasonable explanation, so........... So...nothing. I already gave you an explanation regarding that discrepancy in the Original Title rule and you chose to disregard it. At least one other user, Unicas69, agreed here that the Original Title Rule should be amended to reflect the same clarification that was added to the Possessive's Rule. | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

The difference is, that Unicus voted in line with what the Rules currently say as opposed to what he thinks they ought to say! And while you're at it, please explain why the "Modified Title" rule does not apply to "M:i:III". | | | Hal | | | Last edited: by hal9g |
