There, hopefully a slightly more even-handed set of poll options...

Previously discussed here:

http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=170605
http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=103409
http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=171384

UPDATE: I'd like to add that preferably the paper/cover is scanned, and then the logo superimposed on top after.

Some reflective scans might also look better when scanned in the case, should be allowed here too, just crop off the bottom and side case info.

Everything covered?  Thought not, but with more and more HD content (and users buying said content) in the db, it should be addressed in the rules, one thing I do agree with Dan on...

I'd like to add that the full case should never be scanned, which is the case with all-too-many Blu-ray scans these days... "paper only"!

"Paper only" would be without the banner, wouldn't it.

BTW This poll is even more confusing than everything before! There are several Yes and No options.

I voted for "Yes - this has been the standard for a year, and as long as it doesn't "lessen" the scan quality..." but would be happy with any of the other Yes options. 

There are slipcovers that include the banner as well. Seems odd to me to include it on some but not all.

You didn't get very far on the "even-handed" idea, did you? 

1) If it's "paper only" there is no poll to be taken, is there?
2) No "Full Case" contributions in your poll?

Heh, no, the paper scanned and the logo added after for optimal quality.

Well it's an "issue" with many POVs, tried to include the most pertinent ones.

How exactly does a "Rules Coach" work, Danny?  Is it like a life coach, do you pay him money?   I can see the rules here at Invelos are tricky for you and hope you don't get totally wiped out in all your "sessions."

See above; logo added after.

A few edits to clarify this for you have been added.

Now please go back to your own poll, with its ungainly "examples" that are fairly poor-looking to boot.  Nice one.

In that your examples are ALL of scans with the banner, I'd say there is some level of bias there.

Nice one... you re-edited and still botched it up! 

On the scans... you're so good, show me better.

Some level?? It shows a lot of bias.

Options excluded and even the after-though explanation suggest not to do it.

Oh, there are 3 yes options and 2 no options.

Can it get more biased? Well, maybe but what's funny is that this fiasco is from a person who is so critical of bias in other people.

Those were meant as "not to do" examples, not "pro-banner scans," but removed due to the confusion this can and has caused.

Anyone ever tell you that you're a classy guy?

Anyway, I'll re-edit until the cows come home, got it short and sweet so there aren't too many words that potentially can confuse you.

Just amusing considering all your "crappy HD scan" comments.  OK - try something like 012569-810358.

Quote:

Aww, shucks, that must be bias.  Maybe read third yes option, it addresses an often-asked question.

As cute as your little "attacks" are, not to mention even daring to use the word "bias" after your other poll, this is PM box "material" at best, can you perhaps try to just let these polls do their thing?
