Are you going to flame-bait as well!!!!!!!!!! This topic has been discused numerous times, and I believe, I could be wrong that there has been a poll on it. Do we really need to go through all of this every few weeks or months.? THAT is my point.

No, we don't NEED to.  Participation in this, and any other topic, is a choice.  If you don't want to go throught all of this every few weeks or months, don't read the posts.  But please, quit trying to stop the rest of us, who have chosen to go through every few weeks or months, from making that choice for ourselves.

Most of us welcome a new perspective...which is all this is.

If that were truly the case - that its a new perspective - that would be one thing.  But its the same old gorp recycled and rehashed every couple of weeks or months because apparently Ken doesn't update the rules fast enough to suit some people.  Either that, or the first couple of times the poll didn't end up the way they expected it to, so its one more go around.  Its called cognitive dissonance when you keep doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different answer each time even though the answer is always the same.

If you want to keep playing that game, be my guest, but don't blame us for getting tired of the same old same old.

You missed another, quite obvious, alternative.  Perhaps it is a new user that doesn't know about the polls or the potential rule changes.  Just because you don't see it as coming from a new perspective doesn't mean it isn't.  All it means is your perspective has remainded the same.

I am not blaming you for getting tired of it.  As I said, if you are tired of it don't participate in the discussion.  What gets on my nerves, and it would seem quite a few other's nerves, is when you try ans quash the discussion simply because you don't want to deal with it.

To paraphrase you, who the hell died and made you the topic master?

Oh, please.  You and I both know that 98% of the people in this forum are regulars, and that includes the lurkers.  We've got groups that support or don't support certain approaches, and the players are always the same people on each of the sides.  Once and awhile, we get a newbie.  So, if he asks, explain things to him, but we don't need to rehash this stuff every few weeks or months just because some newbie asks a question -- which they probably could've answered on their own anyway if they had the motivation to do a little digging on their own.

I'm certainly not trying to stifle legit discussions, but beating a dead horse until it can't even be recognized as a horse is just plain stupid.  Your time is worth more than that, so is mine, and so is that of everybody else, including the newbies.  I might also remind you that even when these polls and discussions result in a consensus it only lasts until it becomes inconvenient for somebody down the road. Then all of a sudden, we have to go through it all over again and have a big argument about how it was already decided and there was a consensus and so on and so forth.

Please don't derail this thread. It's NOT a discussion about Contribution Rules. It's a poll on a Feature Request to have two title fields: Cover Title and Screen Title, even only locally.
Please note this is the Feature Requests forum, not the Contribution Discussion forum. If you are not interested in this thread as it meant to be, please ignore it.

I think we've already got that though maybe by different field names.  But I think my point was a legitimate one.  Is it REALLY necessary to rehash this stuff over and over again, just because some newbie asks the same question every few months?  Instead of the rehash, why not create a FAQ and put the results of all these polls and the ensuing discussions into a file they can find and read?  Make it easy on everybody - or is that too much to ask?

Anyone is allowed to ask. No one is required to comment.

My vote:

1) DVD Title: What's on the cover.
2) Movie Title: What comes in the opening credits.
3) Original Title: The title of the movie from the country were it was made.
4) International English Title: The title under which it is known international.

If we have an italian or japanese movie on a german DVD there is need for at least 1), 3) and 4)

2) is sometimes identical to 1) and sometimes to 3)

That workaround doesn't fit foreign films, though, because you need the 'Original Title' field for... guess what? the Original Title.

A FAQ would be most helpful. I see a lot of rehashing here (not only by us newbs, by the way).   
Problem is, who decides what the "right" answers are?

Unicus,

It's probably time for you to block Rifter, like others who have chosen not to expose themselves to his rantings.

Why is that, Hal?  Because I dared to have an opinion and defend it?  Before you accuse others of 'rantings', you should make sure your own house is in order.
