That would be nothing but a  confusing system... leading to less people contributing

Probably some present contributors would stop, and some who stopped contributing due to present rules would come back. More or less in total, nobody can say.

We have now a problem. Kathy wrote "Is there a way to fix the problem? I'm afraid that the answer to that question is "no"." If we keep present system, I agree with Kathy, the answwer will be no. I think that to change the system can be an improvement, as history proved it on many cases.

And maybe you are right... maybe not. But whether you are right or not I still completely disagrees with the direction of your idea. Which (since you brought her into it) so did Kathy as she told you in THIS post.

I am not saying one way or the other if I think there needs to be some sort of change in the system... as I don't know for sure... depends on the ideas on what system to use.

But What I am saying is that I do not believe in... and would never push for such a system as you seem to think we need. To me it seems more like a  non-system.

and to be quite honest... I never will on this particular idea.

As on 100% of everything I wrote here in the past three years and always got negative reaction from you. It's not a reproach, just the fact that we have totally opposite views on everything that concerns the online.

I completely agree with you on this one Tim.

You have no idea how that makes me laugh considering it's coming from someone who removes credited crew members for no reason when he "audit" the dvd from all over the world credits

Staying on-topic is a pretty unattainable goal, for you, isn't it? I honestly don't understand why you insist on bringing your own mistakes into unrelated forumthreads like this. Nobody's interested, really. As always, but again in this particular case you're talking about, I suggest that you read the rules - if you do, you'll find that, once again, you're in the wrong, not me. But hey: why would you let the actual facts and the actual rules stand in the way of a perfectly nice smearing campaign, eh?

It's funny but when I've checked my dvd credits the name of Spencer Gross was there as an editor as you can see here...

Sure he is. However, per the rules, we can only enter "Principal Editors listed when credited together". Well, Mr. Gross is not credited together with principal editor David Finfer, and that's why Mr. Gross can't be entered per the rules. There you are: you're wrong, and I'm right. It's that simple.

Look: as always, I'm more than happy to give you some pointers, but I just don't understand why you want to hijack a completely unrelated thread just to put your own misconceptions on display. This thread has nothing to do with 'Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey' and it has nothing to do with editors. You're only dragging this contribution debate into the forums - something Ken explicitly said not to do - because you thought you could make me look bad. And now the joke's on you - don't say I didn't warn you.

What is your inside knowledge that made you know that Finfer is the principal editor...

The credits. You should have a look at them some time.

Really I don't know why I bother with you

I don't know why you bother with me either. Since we both don't know why, here's an idea: why don't you stop bothering with me? Seems like a win-win situation.

when you are happy to enter second unit crew also

I'm not. As you are well aware, there is a dispute over unit crew vs. location crew. The contribution you were referring to was a profile that already contained a unit or location crew member (your mileage may very). Rather than imposing my interpretation of the rules and removing him, I just left that existing entry untouched, and only made a different change that was needed. That was not me "happy to enter second unit crew" - instead, it was me not tinkering with existing data because I knew it to be a controversial issue. Again, nice try at making me the bad guy, but again completely false.

Anyway it's my last word on this.

Let's hope so.

You like to removed good information from the database on dvd you don't own

Once, again, I most certainly do not remove good information. Mr. Gross cannot be entered per the rules. As for ownership of that particular 'Bill & Ted's' disc: not that it matters, but I've got it right here in my hand. If, however, you think I'm going to go through the trouble of posting a pic with "Look I Own It" on it, then you're sorely mistaken. I'm really not going to waste my time with that.

Quote:
go for it, I couldn't care less since I don't use it and I ain't the only one who do so because of user like you.

With "go for it", you mean "go ahead and update a profile according to the rules"? Because that's what I did here, and I'm pretty sure that I'll be doing something like that sometime again, indeed.

You will happy T!M I've uploaded an empty collection so I won't have to vote on your ego boosting contributions again

You are now the only member in my ignore list, you will be happy since it really means I won't bothering with you anymore

Feel free to do the same with me.
