| | Posted: | | | | I am a Happy Gatherer, but I still contribute. I do have pet peeves about some aspects of contribution. I hate the inclusion of uncredited cast. I also dislike the growing "rules" which limits the general populace from contributing anything more than minor changes without incurring the Wrath of Khan.
There should have been more of a selection for this particular poll. However, Happy Gatherer it is. | | | | Graham |

| | Posted: | | | | im closer to happy gatherer then anything else.... but i feel it does not fully apply... some categories i care very much about data accuracy's, some i dont... i do contribute sometimes, and when i do, i go 100% of the way... but usually i only contribute if no one else has for weeks on a title i've picked up. | | | | -JoN |

| | Posted: | | | | I have cast my vote yesterday and while I was sending my text reply the server was not reachable and I forgot to resend it, so here we go.
I'm the The "contribution rules" purist type. I try my best to make my profile submission to follow the rules since everyone use them. But many time I wonder if it's true, since the majority of my profile uptate don't receive any vote (too much adult profile maybe). But I'm not anal retentive about the rules, like you said it's a caricature. | | | | Last edited: by Jimmy S |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm a Happy Gatherer and a Contribution Rules purist. I download profiles blindly except cover scans but I also audit the movies I watch and submit frequent updates. |

Here are three caricatural portraits of users. Probably none matches exactly how you behave, but from which one do you feel closest ? Shouldn't there be a fourth option: "Skip"?  I'm more of a "completist". It bothers me when people submit profiles that only contain a title, production year and video format. Make the effort to contribute a bit more info! |

You are not allowed to pee while editing a profile! Oh f***! I didn't know that one. Must have somehow overread it. I think I better withdraw my last contributions immediately.  | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | None of the above - if I have to but myself in a box, it would probably be labeled "Purist gatherer"... Being in the danish locality, not capitalizing every word in the title is my preferred way to go (for non-english titles). This is not against the rules, which says you should use whatever you localization dictates. Dansk Sprognævn, which is a governmental institution here in Denmark, that dictates the correct spelling of words, gammatical rules and so forth (and publishes a "spelling dictionary" every year) says that both ways are correct. Unfortunately, it seems that everybody else but me prefers titles like "Kærlighed Ved Første Hik" over the more aestethically (sp?) pleasing (for me) "Kærlighed ved første hik". So, I "un-capitalize" the titles, but keep it local. Besides that, if I find inaccuracies in profiles, I correct them and submit, but only if there is more than one error! Submitting contributions with the only change being "correcting" the SRP from 99,00 to 99,95 is a waste of the screeners time, if you ask me. If I can add a CoO or find some other inaccuracy in the same profile to submit, then off it goes! For digipacks, this is usually not a problem - I'm amazed of how many Danish-locality digipacks are in the database as drawer - simply because of the case you can slide the digipack in...  And no, I'm not scared of building a new profile from scratch, if I get something not in the database - although I will often check if the title exists in other localities/regions, pull that and adjust it to reflect the newly bought release. I did this with The Simpsons 10th season - whoever did the Norwegian-locality profile of this did an incredible job on the cast and crew... I also vote on every contribution I can, provided I actually own it! Titles which are merely on my wishlist always gets a neutral vote, as I have no way of actually verifying if the contribution is correct or not. Even for the owned titles, I don't always vote with my heart: I vote according to the rules, but for a select few titles, the rules doesn't match what I want in my database. Those I edit to my liking, and then lock the entire profile. Even then, sometimes contributions for them show up that I accept, but that is mostly cast- and/or crew-listings... A good example of one of these DVD's are "Corpse Bride", which is in the database as "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride" (which have been correct for a few years under the rules). Well, in my local database, it is just "Corpse Bride", with "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride" as the original title - but with no quotation marks in either! Apart from this, every single title-field and coverscan in my database is locked. On the rare occasion is actually accept an update for them, it's not that big of a job to unlock it temporarily. | | | | The future is here. It's just not widely distributed yet. (William Gibson) |
