| | Posted: | | | | Yes I did, I saw that Pete.  And I have also I hope somewhere along way dealt with your concerns about filtering and sorting, I know I have talked about it within just the last few posts, but i don't feel the need to talk about it with every post. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | But it seems like the parental controls stuff is being talked about in every post. I been feeling like parental controls stuff has been being shoved down my throat.
I am sorry I don't agree with what has been said so far... but you don't really want me to lie and say ohh that is a cool idea do you? Not when I really feel far from it. | | | | Pete | | | | Last edited: by Addicted2DVD |

| | Posted: | | | | I think between what I have been talking about and what AESP has suggested we have a win-win for everybody. Not NOW, Pete, it will take a new version, but this is not an emergency, as I said before this Program is 10 years old, there is no such thing as an emergency. I repeat I can absolutely get behind both NR (Not Rated) and Unrated because that is what the data is sometimes. I am opposed to trying to create two separate definitions again because of the data, as we have explored. I am not however opposed at all to some form of Parental Control that Ken could install per title and this could easily be made sortable and filterable. It looks like a win-win, longer term to me. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | No, Pete, not at all. I think AESP and I trying to do very similar things here we are trying to create a win-win here. I thin we are pretty close to that. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | And I just don't agree... and I am over here feeling like the bad guy because of it.
I don't want to have to go through my entire collection myself to set up something that I truly feel should be handled like any other rating. | | | | Pete |

All this parental control talk has muddied the waters as this isn't about parental controls. This is about having a rating that is being used quite a bit in the home entertainment market. As I said before, 20% of my collection uses 'Unrated/Not Rated'...which is not to be confused with NR (never been rated). | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Now you see the problem, Martian. You have now introduced something completely different. You say NR mean something....to you...I don't know how you back that up because i see what you typed as NBR and I have never seen that one. NR=Not Rated  , Nr and Unrated are two like terms, they mean essentially the SAME thing. Yet Ken was trying to apply separate definitions, and that was demonstrated to a be a problem, so then he changed it to NR to really mean Unrated in SOME cases and in others it would be NR. Now you know how I feel abut data, if it says Not Rated then it's not Unrated (even though they mean essentially the same thing), I would also say if it says Unrated, ideally that is what we should enter for a rating, but probably NOT from the Edition field. <scratching head> | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | Obviously part of the problem seems to be one of language, I have no idea where Never Been Rated came from, it's not a term i have seen with any title, before you brought it in, Martian. My suspicion is that it is a personal interpretation, but that would NBR NOT NR. So if we are going to get on the same page, we have to be speaking the same language.
Pete tell me, you talk about Searchable and Filterable..to what end. What is it that YOU would like to see as a result of being searchable and filterable. I have a feeling I know, but i want to see it from you. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

How can you get the proper rating in the database when you are inventing definitions that don't fit, such as NR being the lowest  , that just doesn't work, unless you are also going to say Unrated is in the same place. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | If this is not bout setting up age limits, then what is the point of the argument. Unrated technically is not a rating. As far as ratings go, Skip is right, there is no difference between Not Rated and Unrated. If you want to keep track of your Unrated movies, then you have NR. Isn't that what that is for?  Now I am really confused by the argument. | | | | Last edited: by CharlieM |

| | Posted: | | | | I hear you, Charlie, this thing gets more confusing by the second. The moment I think we are finally on some sort of track that is beginning to make some sense, here comes somebodyelse with something. Well I am going to trying to help here, I may not have any hair left but... | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | And if this is about searching and filtering for "Unrated", then aren't you trying to filter on an edition? Would that be any different than filtering on "Director's Cut", this is an edition also. I am really really confused Charlie |

All this parental control talk has muddied the waters as this isn't about parental controls. That's why I've said that you can change it for the term "NR self-assign rating" in this post (does someone take the time to read what the others write?) if the term "parental control" isn't the issue. The ratings are already correct as they are in the database and what you ask for is a personal thing, so it goes in the personal preferences. NR means non rated and Unrated means was not rated, no difference at all. I sure don't see any difference... I'm really surprised that you are against this | | | | Last edited: by Jimmy S |
