Latest poll, by Pantheon, here (access to the Contribution Rules Committee forum needed), with a healthy support for allowing supervising producers under the producer heading. As it should be, of course.

Please re-read T!M's post about SP's (especially the Star Trek, Merri Howard bit!).

Then maybe this moronic attitude to SPs will stop.

Wow, now you are jumping to conclusions, hal. Yes I am angry at your repeated ad hominem attacks, which lowers your credibility tremendously. If you got a red zinger then you need to answer foir it, it was not i that threw it.

In fact, as far as I am concerned your ad hominems have been so frequent and insulting, you have NO credibility. You might try being more friendly or something, I don't know what, I have come to believe that you just a nasty person, and i don't like that, I keep looking for signs that point otherwise and can't find them.

I will add that I believe you have on more than one occasion thrown reds that I consider unwarranted but i can't prove it nor would i publicly try to paint you that way.

Grow up!

And you guys wonder why such a small percentage of DVDP users participate in forum discussions and why more and more users stop contributing?

To be just a tad more specific: only that one is specifically ADDRESSED by the rules.

And because of that, the only one allowed by the rules

The others are all generally entered by the huge majority of the community

Since you present this as facts, can you please show me something that supports this idea? I haven't seen anything that supports it

as they should be.

That's your opinion, nothing more

I consider it nothing more than "common sense".

And I think it's common sense to not credit them. So much for common sense

Quote:

I have plenty films where, for instance, a "supervising editor" is the only editing credit, or a few "supervising re-recording mixers" are the only sound mixing credits.

Yes, but they are still only supervising, not doing the actual work

Quote:

Nobody in their right mind would even consider leaving them out,

Except those following the rules

and a CLT search on specific examples shows that this indeed is not the case.

because the data is in the database doesn't make it right, as you have said so many times regarding common names and imdb mining

Quote:
And rightly so.

Again, your opinion


If we go back to the supervising producer question, we can take a look at the Producers Guild of America and the FAQ you linked to:  (Bold by me)
A Supervising Producer supervises one or more producers in the performance of some or all of his/her/their producer functions, on single or multiple productions, either in place of, or subject to the overriding authority of an Executive Producer.

That means they are not performing the same job. Yes, a supervising producer is above the producer in the hierarchy, but that doesn't mean it's the same thing. If we take a look at the definition, a supervising producer is closer to an executive producer when it comes to the actual work being done, than to a producer.

I find it strange that you are advocating against adding all the new art credits that are allowed by the rules because if waters out the meaning of the credit when you are doing the exact opposite with these credits. Adding supervising producer as producer waters out the meaning of the producer credit and we will not be able to tell what a person actually did in the movie/tv-series because of that. That's exact same argument you use for the new art credits.

Users are more than welcome to add a supervising producer to their profile, but should do so either locally without contributing or with the new custom role feature. That's what it's there for. (And that is of course my opinion)

I've made my decision.

No more contributing on existing profiles for me. It's just not worth the time and effort. I will be keeping my information to myself. Selfish, I know, but quite frankly I'm past caring.

From now on I will only contribute completely new profiles (such as child profiles).

Too bad you feel compelled to make this decision, Pantheon. But I fully understand why.
