You know perfectly well that two movies on one side of a disc CANNOT PHYSICALLY BE ENTERED AS A BOXSET.  The program does not permit it.

Entering it as a single profile is the ONLY way it can be done because that's the only thing the program permits.

No, it's not the only way. You can make two manual profiles, keep them local, then share them through a particular thread or site as it is done for other things that we share but that cannot be contributed due to program limitations: headshots, and images for galleries.

Since there is another way, I do not see any reason to violate rules.

Once again, it is inconsistent to ask to follow strictly rules then explain there are cases where we can violate them. Except if rules had a preliminary sentence explaining that in odd cases, rules may be interpreted with the aim of improving the data, with documented explanations given to voters and screeners to decide if it is acceptable.

Again, as you know manual profiles cannot be contributed to the online database.  Creating manual profiles and keeping them local is useless to the rest of the community.  Only a very small percentage of DVDP users would ever find them in a thread here!

Using cast/crew dividers is the only way to do these profiles in such a way as to share the work with the rest of the community.

I think you just like to argue! 

Surprisingly enough, there seem to be a significant number of people who agree with this approach since it has been used for single-sided double features in this manner ever since the "dividers" were added to the program functionality.  In fact, it was done prior to that, with many people using a bogus cast entry as a divider.

Further discussion on this topic is a waste of time, since you refuse to see the difference between this situation and typos or actual film credits.

You say I just like to argue, but I spent several hundreds of hours to share 11000 images from movies on a site I created for dvdprofiler users since the system doesn't allow to contribute galleries. It is not difficult to share a manual profile that cannot be contributed, so please do not try to present me as a troll.

I should say that further discussion on this topic is a waste of time since you refuse to see my position other than the caricature made by one user. Please read carefully what I write, and not what you understood after reading what "somebody" explained about things I never wrote.

It would be nice to have the rules updated how the profiling is done in the case of 2 movies being on a single sided disc. This would stop (I hope!) some of the continuing arguments about it.

Rules evolve with the change of the program and have to be adjusted/changed/modified, whatever you want to call it and this is a long and difficult progress. And sometimes a painful process!

Agreed but does not help when your commander and chief fails to communicate.

And it would seem more than obvious to me that from the get go the ability to include several movies one profile should have been mandatory.

As for your images ...but it has nothing to do with this discussion .

It is just an example that proves that we can share non contributable data. And the impossibity to share manual profiles was the reason you used to excuse rules violations.

In case you were not aware, it was I who started the sticky thread called "Manual Profiles Available to Share" in the "Contribution Discussion" forum.
