What could be simpler than copying exactly what you see? 

@8ballMax
Now you made me laugh at least. The last updates I made on American DVDs were 100% correct (as always) and gratefully accepted, because they were just small or old films and all other owners of that DVD were to lazy to fill the gaps. But thank God, I did not have to removed ranks or titles to enter the correct names.

Btw. I am one of the 100s who spent a lot of spare time to fill the database with correct data and new profiles.

It would be stupid not to listen to the people who made the database what it is. If no user would have spent the hours to create or revise profiles the database would be empty. So, we deliver the content they sell to the customers of the DVD Profiler. Do you really think they are not interested in a discussion with the users and customers and the people who made the Profiler what it is?

You are right, it's their database... but we provide the content. For sure there must be rules, but an opinion doesn't make a rule even it was from God!

Here in Germany I could sign all those documents with my pseudonym if it would be officially registered. There is a field on the ID card for these names. Military ranks would never appear on that ID card, titles like "Sir" (in Germany it might be "Graf" or "Baron" or something like that) afaik would.

Who is whining and crying? I'm sorry if I flipped your world upside down, but here the Military doesn't mean that much, that we would use ranks off duty. Even not if it's a family with a military history.
And if the boss give his opinion for discussion we are allowed to give our own opinions and to act upon them until the boss makes a clear decision (which is not an opinion). The boss' opinion is only to be followed if there are no other opinions.

Does it never come to your mind, that they might want other opinions to decide then?

You are right. I have no personal preference to count military ranks to the name. You have. So it would be easier to use the credited as than just enter the name with rank which leads the hole "name"-thing ad absurdum. "First Name... hmm... Admiral...". But with credited as you still have the military rank listed.

Obviously they weren't 100% correct were they...Top Gun, case-in-point.

Obviously it's not correct data if profiles like Top Gun slip through.

The fact is that Gerri was interested in the topic and posted her "opinion" on this matter making it a rule. Your're disagreement with her "opinion" is noted.

The previous all have been accepted. I don't know if they had 100% YES, but all accepted, because correct.

Just because you don't like it, it makes it incorrect.

Opinions are no rules, even if you hammer it. Decisions are!

I thought you said you were leaving? I guess that info wasn't 100% correct .

Whilst I agree that we should include the prefixes and suffixes mentioned in the name field I can understand where the confusion lies.
The rules only tell us to enter the names into the fields and, like it or not, this leaves a lot to personal interpretation. Some would class "Sir" as part of the name and would include it, others would not and would ignore it.

The rule states to enter the names exactly as they appear in the credits. How is the use of the word exactly confusing? How can one interpret exactly as meaning everything except what I don't believe should be included? To me, that is not an interpretation...it is a total disregard of the rule.

I give up.

Ya'll do whatever the hell you want. I lock my profiles anyways.

I said I'd leave you Americans with your profiles.

But I buy my stuff in many countries like Germany, UK, Ireland, Hong Kong, Japan, France and Canada. 
And of course the USA, when a Blu-ray for me just is as expensive as a meal at Mc Donald's.
