There is a poll in the "Contribution Rules Committee" forum for the final stage of getting the 2D/3D issues clarrified in the rules.  The poll is on the final wording.  There are two options for the wording and it affects the audio ordering, so everyone who has a concern should vote.

HTe main post also gives a background to the discussions

Please go review and vote.  And of course feel free to comment.

Link to the poll

You need to request access to the rules forum to read the post.

I think to  be really fair, since people have not been a pert of the discussion, you should go back and ask people here, the basic question.

Profile main disk in parent only, and child profile other disks as children

Combine all hd profiles into parent, with option child profiles.

So you are saying we start over because it was discussed in the "Contribution Rules Committee" forum and not this one?

Even though when discussions like rule changes are discussed in this forum i is pointed out that the discussion should be moved to the "Contribution Rules Committee" forum.

I am not sure what you are asking for, because the discussion has been happening for about a month, and many people have participated.

Not everybody has access to the contribution rules committee, because you have to ask for access.

If you want people to make an informed decision, they need to be made aware of the entire discussion, including where it started and the basis for that discussion.  In all realism, the question should have started out here, then moved to the rules forum to hash out the specifics.

Without the opinion of the "general" community, we would be forcing the contribution rules forum participants opinions onto the rest of the community.

Yes you have to ask for access, but I have not seen anyone post that their access was denied.

I am not sure why Ken has that access restricted where you have to ask for access, but he does.

When I first bought this product in October 2011 it was not long after I asked for access.  Because I wanted to be part of such discussions.

3D discussions have been going on in this foum since November 2011, or at least that has been when I started getting involved with them.  The base discussion in the "Contribution Rules Committee" started based on the content of those discussions.  So it did start here.

You wouldn't see it because most frequent forum visitors (like me) know whether they have access to that forum or not. So, stating the obvious is a waste of time.

As for why. Remember to include the Intervocative days also. When rules were discussed in the open often, at some point, some trolling started to happen by some entrenched in their own vision. A more controlled access gives Ken more space to manage the discussions. That is my understanding of this separate forum. That said, it is also a continuation of a more 'secretive' discussion group that existed in the past with the same purpose -- and people not in that group complained about the secretive nature. So there you have it. It is now a forum in principle open to everyone but you have to ask for it.

I participate from time to time in contribution rules issues (see: Asean names...), but I didn't sign up for the rules forum because I believe that if you do, you should make the time to actively participate. And up to very recently, I didn't have that time.

Thanks Scooter1836, voted in your poll located in the rules committee subforum.

Charlie, isn't that the point of the Contributiom Rules Committee subforum ... to vote for contribution rule changes?  Just because someone currently doesn't have access to that subforum doesn't mean they're precluded from asking for access.  It might be one thing if they couldn't ask for access but that's not the case.
