| | Posted: | | | | Our best answer to END all of this once and for all, is to be able to enter the Crew data exactly as it appears On screen. This would NOT have to be totally open credits but that would be a way to do it.
@ James: tim and hal didn't do the poll so its not relevant. yes I am being sarcastic, expecting them to STOP bringing up the same BS every few months. Yes I know neither of them was the OP.

| | Posted: | | | | I am becoming increasingly convinced that due the vagaries of Hollywood that Open credits in some form is the BEST way to go. Whether that is in some limited form or unlimited, iits the ONLY answer to stop the combat and the endless argument though there are some users whose opinion holds no value due to their repeated slalnderous remarks. Even directors CAN be problematic, let alon other categories. The thing that i find hysterical some of the people that want to expand our credit capabilities are the same people that refuse to deal with what we do have, thus encouraging Ken to expand...NOT.
But this endless bickering and back-biting has got to STOP!

We have enough problems as it is, and if people start entering literally EVERY imaginable crew credit, from gaffers and best boys to, say, a group of carpenters, then there's no way the voters can actually decide whether the data up for voting is in any way accurate. Don't even think about common names and birth years (if potentially EVERY credit can be entered, I can assure you we're going to need thousands and thousands more birth years, primarily for people for which they're not available). I guess I'd lock all my crew data and never accept an update to it ever again. I understand how it would solve a lot of problems, but I'm afraid it would introduce lots more. It just doesn't seem workable. No, what I think we need is a thorough rewrite of the crew rules, and maybe some changes to the available credits in the program itself as well. Nolesrule hits the nail right on the head: Quoting nolesrule: Quote:
I still think we (and by "we" I mean the DVD Profiler program) need to be using the guilds, who have developed the modern credit system for each profession, as the basis for credits in DVDP, determine which ones are relevant enough to be included and which ones should be excluded, and only have exceptions for movies that don't fit into the guild criteria (even for films that aren't within the guilds mostly use proper guild credit roles anyway, so those roles would already be included). It is the simplest way to make it work without argument.
Instead, it seems that which credits that are included in the program have been cherry-picked, leaving out some that are actually more important in the real-world credits hierarchy, and that's why we have these problems. |

Tim: I am sorry, It is the only to stop people like you from imposing your will on the database and dragging in data that was not intended at this time. And to prevent you from trying to apply definitions that we have not used, I don't care what the PGA says. This system will not stop you from bringing up the SAME discussions over and over and over again. You don't even pay attention to polls that have been taken such as the one on SP. So the ONLY answer is some form of Open credits, either in limited form or unlimited. You enjoy these arguments, tim? I DON't and i want to stop them that is why i developed the rules to begin with, in hopes of stopping not only the garbage data and endless ping-ponging but the arguments. This a hobby I used to enjoy, but becoming less so by the day, due to the behavior of many users ar, I have already ceased Contributing, do you really believe that is beneficial to the community, the people that might say yes are people who don't Contribute very much anyway and you know who you are. Whatever needs to be done to end this garbage is what Ken needs to do, and Limited Open Credits is the Answer I want the BS to STOP. ENOUGH ALREADY. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | As I posted in the poll thread, the PGA rules on this credit allow you to get it if you're a director and not a producer. I think that eliminates it from being credited because we have no way of knowing whether it's actually a producer or if it's a director getting a supervising producer credit. | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |

| | Posted: | | | | Please take note that tim is trying to apply Rules specifically for Television to EVERYTHING including film, and take further note that contrary to Tim's claim the SP is NOT the HEAD Producer. Thanks came, you beat me to it.

Yeah so? This thread was started because of a movie named Short Circuit which was not a television serie. Martin: So why are you supporting this. I have stated that from people that I know in FILM, SP is no higher than third on the org chart. He answers to the the Producers, who answers to the EP, and in some films the SP answers to the Asst. Ps which we do not include. In short a the information regarding SP to support its useage in film has been grossly misrepresented. Yet you want two buy it Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

That's not what I'm talking about. You can very ably make the points you're trying to without resorting to direct attacks on the person with whom you disagree. It doesn't have to end every single time with a variation on the them of "<insert name here> is trying to corrupt the database because they won't agree with me." Everyone here wants the database to be the best it can be, and right or wrong on the issue, resorting to direct personal affronts helps nothing. | | | | Last edited: by Nadja |

And why do we shoehorn "Theme By" into Composer, or "Created By" into OCB or "Story By" into OMB?
You either enter only what is listed in the table or you have opened Pandora's Box. There's no way to open it half way.
You guys really need to stop with this 'we' stuff. WE do not shoehorn "Theme By" into Composer. WE do not shoehorn "Created By" into OCB. Some people do, that is clear, but that doesn't make it right.
Entering "Story By" into OMB, on the other hand, is not shoehorning. The notes for OMB say, "Adapted from another medium." If there is a screenwriter credit, in addition to the story by credit, it meets the criteria for OMB.
If you voted on contributions regularly, you would see these all the time. Those are the "we" that I am referring to.
What is even more discouraging is that they are being approved by the screeners as well.
Are they being approved by screeners?! All the time?
Could this be an indication that you are wrong?! 
No, it is an indication that the screeners do not have time to check every contribution to make sure that people are not contributing erroneous information. This might have been be the case - IF only a few of your so-called wrong contributions got approved. But - It seems to me that the majority of contributions utilizing this (in your mind) wrong interpretation gets approved?!? Am I wrong? You can't seriously debate that when screeners approve what's in your mind wrong contributions, they are simply "slipping up". While in the same breath advocate that when they approve what is to others a wrong contribution (but in your mind right), they do the right thing? Or can you?!  Seriously - get off your high horse, and try some diplomacy, rather than the divide-and-conquer tactic you're currently pursuing.... | | | Berak
