| | Posted: | | | | The problem is, we don't do this for us and nobody else. We do this for the entire Profiler community. This forum, is a very small part of that community. The stuff that we do for us, and nobody else, belongs in our local profiles. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | The rules don't specifically cover this. We generally encourage submission of covers without stickers, and although these aren't stickers, they serve a similar purpose.
So, as long as the flip cover otherwise matches the front, I don't see a problem submitting it. | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

| | Posted: | | | | I personally disagree about them being similar to stickers. That's kind of like saying the rating isn't important.
Also, which takes priority? If one is already in the database, should it be replaced with the other side? If first come, first served, then it'll be rather poor if some do it one way & some do it the other.
Just a couple of things to think of. |

Just a couple of things to think of. One interesting note, for the steelbook-edition of Transporter 3 the media-company did exactly this thing. They made the label a sticker on the steelbook which could easily be removed (that is why the cover has been in the database without the label before I contributed a new scan that got rid of the problems with scanned reflective surfaces). So at least in this case the ratings-label really was a sticker. I don't know if this will happen in more cases since I think I heared somewhere that in our beloved new law it was forbidden to have those labels as stickers and that the label had to be printed onto the cover... Saying that the labels should be considered as stickers might be an over-interpretation of what Ken said (he only said that it would not be a problem contributing scans without the label), so at the moment I would say that there is no specific priority. In that case I would say some of the other rules for contributing covers do apply which for example would require the contributed scans to be a real improvement quality-wise. So if there is a cover in the database with the label and the contributed scan without the label would be the same quality, it would not qualify as a valid contribution... | | | | Last edited: by hpopp |

You did indeed see that. Quoting from the link I posted on page 2 - Quote:
The label has to be integrated in the master copy. Labelling of new releases with the help of manually fixed stickers is not permissible. |
