They  have always been against the rules... this is nothing new. See Ken's statement...

This is on the link submission page:

For links which match the locality of the original content, submit via Title/Production Year. For others, submit via "This Profile Only"

And for the record when I said we... I didn't say you. Was never speaking for you. I meant those of us that only know the one language and has no need for these sites/trailers. Do you think I am the only one?

And once again... this has always been the rule... I was just double checking I understood it correctly.

Well, yes - and no...

I'm not allowed to submit a foreign trailer via Title/Production Year - but still I'm allowed to add it directly to the profile...

Well, I know two languages - but still I like to watch trailers in many others.
It just seemed to me, you were generalizing people only want to watch what they can understand.

I was neither feeling insulted, nor was trying to insult you.

As for you loosing links you don't have to... Just use "My Links" in the program itself... you just can't contribute them to the online... just like anything else that goes against the site rules.

I know - and I do. But I use the Online Profile Links as a starting point.

I'm still not sure, if they're really against the rules.

I submit all links I manually add via DVD Profiler and I don't know how these submissions are handled...

Well, OK - how do I do this when submitting via DVD Profiler itself?

Immediately under the spot to place the link are two options;

Link to: ?Title and Production Year  ?This Profile Only

The first is selected by default.

There are no options...

No... you are mis-ready Ken's rule...

Quote:

Yes, I've read this part too. But I'm not talking about adding links via 'Title/Production Year'.
But there's no exceptions mentioned what I can submit to a specific profile.

So going the way with a German trailer, US content, US profile:

First to check: Does the German trailer match the US content? No. -> Don't submit via Title/Production Year.

Do I have to check against the profile's locality? Not mentioned in the rules!

Instead the rule says: 'Others' (ergo everything that doesn't match the content) has to be submitted via "This Profile Only".

So going by the rule I'm allowed to submit the foreign link directly to the profile.

It seems to me you are reading this into the rule (and I admit that's probably what Ken intended):

Quote:
For links which match the locality of the original content, submit via Title/Production Year. For other links which match the locality of the profile, submit via "This Profile Only". If a link does not match neither original content nor locality, don't submit at all.

And I will also admit, this would be the most logical solution.

Katatonia just gave 3 sites that are completely gone.

Those have all been removed.  I was asking for other completely dead sites.

There was one called en.dtrailer.com (Trailers) that may still have some links in profiles. That site has been dead for quite some time.

www.trailerunleashed.com (Trailers) is dead.

www.dvdcult.com (review site) is dead.

www.50footdvd.com (review site) is dead.

www.monstersatplay.com (review site) has been dead for a while now.

www.eccentric-cinema.com (review site) is R.I.P. Evidence here.

www.chud.com (review site) is dead.

www.DVDfile.com (review site) now just redirects to the comingsoon.net homepage, so they can all be removed as invalid.

www.dvdauthority.com (review site) now also just redirects to the blurayauthority.com homepage, so they can all be removed as invalid.

www.dvdinmypants.com (review site) is dead, and now redirects to a bogus malware webpage.

www.dvdoutsider.co.uk (review site) is long dead.

While rottentomatoes.com is of course still good... I am seeing a lot of...

beta.rottentomatoes.com

which no longer works.

LOL... an official page for a movie... now leads to what looks like a porn site. While hard to tell for sure what exactly it is as it is a foreign site... definitely not for the Jennifer Aniston movie any longer!
