btw, the first post is well into double digits for green arrows so I'm certainly not alone, and I will fight the good fight for my silent comrades  

Yepp,
and it even earned you your second star.
Well deserved (not only for this thread).
Congrats.

Don't get me wrong, I can be a TOTAL jackass. In fact, in real life, my sales business is only where it is because of my cocky arrogance and disregard for peoples feelings. I am a cock. It's a character trait.

But instead of saying lock it, people should just be happy that at least some users will fight for change. I like it here, I like the users (most of) and have a lot of respect for the 'old-timers' (especially those still here and the passion they have) and what they have managed to do and the database available. I love the helpfullness of the other users, the headshot database (which I have given back to and will continue to) and surfeurs movie screenshot thread (currently working through, and will then give back to) are two examples of what the community can do. The layouts and plug-ins open a huge range of possibilities and the actual program is 100% awesome (offline anyway ).

I suppose I just find it funny that some people think it is completely disrespectful (and I am trying not to be) for some of us to expect the rules to be updated as posts are made by the rule setters.

Anyway, that is my entire feelings on everything.

Lock it because it is utter nonsense, Vittra. Martian, pete, myself and others have seen these threads before, they have never served to produce the desired effect. They produce typically and apparently, from my years with the program exactly the opposite.

I have never read anything as retarded as the two lock it posts in all my life (and I have seen FilmAlba post in 3 different forums). If you don't want to read the thread, don't, just stop trying to knock people for fighting for things you have given up on through experience. One day, I hope Ken posts requesting all users to jump off a bridge. That will rid the place of the lapdogs.

You calling me a retard Sam?

No, I'm saying you have posted some retarded things in the past (on other forums).

Nothing more so than what TGM posts or Spez blog of some guy that can't take the fact he lives in city where he is about unique as a sewer rat.

It's not that he does not like change, it's the fact that you would be changing, altering, defacing, obliterating, canceling, eradicating, abolishing, abrogating, dismissing, expunging, revoking, quashing, rescinding, trashing, invalidating, repealing, destroying, annulling, deleting, discarding, razing, removing, erasing, negating, exterminating, extirpating, excising and demolishing the sickly, somewhat senseless statutes that he supposedly 'sired'.

(Be honest, was that post ghost-written by John Cleese and Graham Chapman?)

I think that if the rules get updated so they are easy to understand, added to where info is lacking, just maybe more users might work on blank profiles. I had some profiles in my collection for as long as 3 years that were blank. My guess is that not many users are willing to get there ass bit for misunderstanding or trying to ask how to enter something the rules don't cover. So fix this and maybe profiles will get worked on the first time they are published.

Update: My messages got lost in cyber space and Gerri, immediately after reading my forum post, has allowed me access to the Contribution Rules Committee. 

So all problems and disagreements will be taken care of once I wave my magic wand!

Finally, our calls have been answered..........................


(Are you wearing a helmet? You might need armor where you are going now............good luck and may the force be with you!)

Used all my green arrows for the day in this thread

I cannot agree more with Sam, the rules definitely need a new update and also more regular modifications.

cheers
