If the Title of the film is Mad Men and the title shows
MadMen
Then the rule would Apply, because the title was run together from the original display. This of course would be shown on the title board, the credit block, and other places.
The rule is a conditional. The first part (If the title is shown run together) must apply, for the second part (but with coloring and/or symbols splitting the title words, use standard spacing) to apply.
Since the title of this is Credited as "YELLOWBRICKROAD", which is shown in multiple places, the cover artist did not change the positioning of the letters in reference to each other, from the title displayed on the title card.

The intent of the rule that has been quoted, IMHO, was to address those cases where the cover designer takes a title that in reality is multiple words and displays it on the cover all "run together".
It was never intended for situations like this.....IMHO!
Just checked a couple of DVD's I've recently contributed So according to the ones that think this title should be seperated. Check the DVD case for Heartbreakers and Gridlock'd, by their reasoning these movies should be listed as Heart Breakers & Grid Lock'd. The title is run together but there are different charactoristics to each word in the titles. I See Heart & Breakers and Grid & Lock'd. Quoting ateo357: Quote:

It was never intended for situations like this.....IMHO! I don't disagree. The problem is, the rule wasn't written that way...at least not in my opinion. You, and those that agree with you, are free to have a different one. I have no problem with that and, unlike others, will not mock or insult you because of it. The way some of you are acting, you would think that a differing opinon is going to cause some catastrophic profiler event.

Let's face it: If all play fair and don't suddenly have this title on their "wish"list then the owners of this DVD will solve this by themselves via contributing and voting. If they want the title as Yellowbrickroad then that's what they'll get. If they want Yellow Brick Road then that's what they'll get. Because neither variant is in clear violation of the rules and so the voters will decide. And that's not a bad thing. They have to live with it after all. | | | Karsten

It's the trainwreckery of threads like this that makes this forum awesome, and the mockery of anyone who ever talks about Profiler. I agree so much with you on this my friend This forum by moment have some of the most riduculous discussion I've ever seen... some of the weird furries forum are even less ridiculous for crying out loud...

I've been looking right past that button for years. Never noticed it or really paid any attention to any of the blue buttons.

Why? Don't tell me you don't like a day without idiotic discussion Terry Why was this discussion idiotic? Because you don't agree with the opposing view? Or is it because you think splitting the title is an idiotic idea that would only happen here?

The Witchmaker Code Red DVD was listed as The Legend of Witch Hollow at Amazon Canada untill I sent them the correct info. So following your interpretation we must list the wrong title in the database because Amazon did an error in their listing when an user created a pre-release profile... Not that I know if there was one or not in the database. | | | | Last edited: by Jimmy S |
