Well, I tried to explain why, it was not an oversight. One can simply by reviewing the database that it is the way it is done, this has been true from the earliest days of the prog. There was a time when using IMDb data was a long standing convention which was true from the earliest days of the program. If one looks at the right profiles, one might believe it was still true except for the fact that the rules forbid the use of a 3rd party database. Quote:
Why open it to user manipulation, that is what is not wanted. The fact that it is not covered by the rules is what opens it up to 'user manipulation' and I think that is a bad choice of words as I don't believe I have ever added a colon...other than for episodic titles...and I am not trying to manipulate anything. If that isn't what is wanted, it needs to be added to the rules. It's kinda hard to tell someone they must use a colon when the rules don't support it.

| | Posted: | | | | Explicit mentioning of the convention in the rules certainly wouldn't do any harm. And if not, perhaps Ken could confirm the existing convention, and then it can be put in the thread listing Ken's rule clarifications. |
