| | Posted: | | | | I agree, Kathy, frankly I don't understand what all the fuss is about. Well, I take that back, I do understand it and it is a shame that people have nothing better to do than beat on another user, which is what this is really about. The Rule is clear and i follow them whether I like it or not, and on issues such as that brought up in another thread, I even recognize where the Rules have room for multiple interpretations. Speaking personally, when I run into such issues I do not Contribute data replacing someone else's data if it is open to interpretation. But unfortunately this is not open for interpretation, perhaps we could have a format war like lyonsden has alluded to and that is the type of issue I will not involve myself in, to me it would only demonstrate the intelligence level or the willfulness of the user trying to engage in such crap, but that is not my call. I really wish the Rule had not been changed but....<shrugs>  Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

The new submission does technically follow the rules. Since Ken deleted the episode example in the rules I’m afraid I would be wrong in voting no on this contribution. I do not like it and I refuse to vote yes for something I see as incorrect. My only recourse is to vote neutral and to lock those titles in my local database. This is an option available to every user and can be done quite easily and without being nasty to one another! Try it…you’ll like it! I would venture to guess that the ONLY place that you are going to find these titles in ANY database without the "Episode" as part of the title, is going to be in the Invelos main database. Not sure I'd want that distinction if I were them! I'd guess 95%+ of the user community will fix this in their local database. So exactly why does this make sense??????  | | | | Hal |

It makes sense vbecause that is what the Rules say, which unlike you I do respect. Do I like it...NO and how many times do I have to say that. But the majority voted and Ken followed the majority position, even though it didn't make sense. That said I would also not favor going back now, because we can't be operating under the Rule of the Week. Because of all of this absolute silliness I am already withholding a lot of data. The Rule is the Rule, and my opinion of it is completely irrelevant.
I hope you are not lobbying to get Ken to reverse the Rule now, though I suspect from incessant whine that is your objective. Accept it and move on, The Movie of the Week ran for many years but eventually died, if we try the Rule of the Week death will be much swifter.

So exactly why does this make sense?????? I never said it made any sense, how many rules do?!? But then I'm a bit of a rebel...I like to break rules!  But seriously, I can understand the frustration this type of situation causes but since it won't occur very often it just seems easier to make the changes locally. Both sides have been presented to Ken and a decision will be made shortly...then we'll see if I can unlock my Star Wars saga titles...or not. | | | | Last edited: by Kathy |

As usual Hal, your comment is unnecessary and inflammatory. can you NOT READ. Did you not see where I acknowledged what Unicus. What a total ass.
Ken Cole: This is getting ridiculous. When will you do something about this abusive language????  | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

| | Posted: | | | | how do you know no one will use them?... matter of fact 90% of the changes made like this I use... even if I don't agree with it 100%.... I also don't care about it enough to lock the title... so I for one will use it if it goes through.
I personally believe that all titles should be as per rules in the online database... whether I agree with it or not. And to me... this one is no different. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | ROFL, Hal. And what makes you think that is the sole example. If you are going to do as you suggest then we have no Rule. Do it this way, except for this and that, and something else<shakes head> NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are now joining the majority with let's see how complicated we make the process of data entry and see just how many users we can drive away because of the complexity. The answer ALWAYS has to be simple and easy for everyone to implement, REGARDLESS of whether some might not like the end result, which is what REALLY started all of this. And my point has been proven beyond a shadow of doubt. The more complex you try to make it the more people will look for and find exceptions. As opposed to the simple Use the film credits or Use the DVD Front Cover, no ifs no ANDS and NO buts, the answer is the answer, and if you don't lie the answer...that is why we have a local database. You are so totally clueless on these matters.

The troll here is your self, not me, sir. You are simply a windbag who knows nothing of what he speaks, and is certainly not interested in following the Rules.
