First, I know that it is perfectly allowed per the rules to use group headers for for all kind of groups. I make this poll to get some kind of indication as to how the majority would prefer to handle groupings now that we have had some time to experiment with them and maybe have run into problems with them. (More specifically, the problem that group headers aren't nestable)

Please, also take a look at this thread for a discussion about the topic

Option 1:
Use only group header when there is a separate group header in the credit.
Example:

Pre-Crime
  Tom Cruise as Chief John Anderton
  Max von Sydow as Director Lamar Burgess
  Steve Harris as Jad
  Neal McDonough as Fletcher
  Patrick Kilpatrick as Knott
  Jessica Capshaw as Evanna

Option 2:
Use group header every time there is a grouping in the credits.
Example in addition to the above:

Pre-Crime Cops: Keith Campbell
                      Kirk B. R. Woller as Pre-Crime Cops
                      Klea Scott as Pre-Crime Cops
                      Frank Grillo as Pre-Crime Cops

Option 3:
Explain how you would like them.

I mentioned in the other thread as well. I'd go for option one. Just repeat the role when there is a grouping, whether the should remain plural or single is another discussion ;-)

I say use it everytime where there is a grouping, that is how I am contributing the last days.
And didn't KEn already said it should always be used when there is a grouping ?

And I agree with Skip, this is a minor issue, nothing to scratch heads 

Donnie

He also said that nothing was set in stone.

This issue have been brought up in several threads with arguments both for and against and nothing has really come out of it. No solution to solve the problem we have now or anything. All I'm doing is trying to find out what people want, including the not so vocal users. If the majority want option one, that is great. If the majority want option two, that is ok too.

And regarding that it might be fixed in the next release. It might, we don't know that. We also don't know when the next release is. Until then, I would prefer to have data that makes sense in the context.

Also, T!M said in the other thread that he is running into this issue on a daily basis, so apparently it isn't a minor issue. (Also there are other issues that I would call minor that apparently make other people lose their hair. What one think is minor might not be so minor for others. We use the program in different ways)

Reybr:

I personally pay NO attention to the majority since far too many incorrect changes have been implemented on the back of the majority which is one of many reasons i don't Contribute. I follow good database design and management principles and the DATA. I don't decide what i want or don't want just because. ken has implemented the dividers, he has told us HOW to do it. We have a small hiccup as it relates to nesting...give it a rest. The data looks far better with the Dividers in use than it did without them or with the nonsense of repeating every role.  Why is it necessary to try and turn everything into some sort of controversy, particularly over something so insignificant.

I wouldn't call it good database design to remove the data from the context when the context is a big part of the data.

That's a matter of taste, but it has nothing to do with the data. It is how the data is presented. I don't care about the presentation. That can be fixed with a HTML window if I don't like how it is presented to me.

And again, what you find insignificant, might not be to others

Then the rules as they are, stand.

If this is an answer to my question... then I feel I must remind you that the rules as they are stand no matter what this poll says.

Of course. I should have been more specific. If there is no majority either way, then I see no reason to push for a rules update

they are not headers,the are dividers

and I really don't like how they are worded, another subject.

If we need to make a decision, use them as actor groupings.

In the above example  Pre-Crime Cops is a grouping.

Pre-Crime is a Header.

I persomally like the way I am doing it, it captures all the data, until some programmed soution comes about.
