General Questions and Discussion / English Title Problems

« on: December 15, 2007, 10:40:46 PM »

if it's okay to step in ^^; as I am French xD Le Chevalier D'Eon could possibly be translated in both ways depending on "Eon" meaning.
If it's referring to a person, thus d'Eon (being his complete name) the Chevalier then it should be : D'Eon, the Knight, however, if "d'Eon" as in "de-Eon" which refers to coming from a place or organization, then it should be : the Knight of Eon. Then again, there's a small linguistic glintch, since "d'Eon "could also be a concept/idea or even refer to someone protecting/have attachment with Eon as in "de-Eon" in a possessive way,  so technically, even "Eon's Knight" could be valid as well *sweat*

I'm not into Le Chevalier d'Eon fandom and I've barely watched 2 episodes, but if I remember well, his sister's soul did posess his brother or something like that o.o and became the knight or his "inside" knight? sorry if it's confusing ^^; so all 3 translations could apply depending on the context the title comes from, just like you pointed it previously.

>.> does this really affect how it's listed or something ? *confused*

edit: it's really hard to tell if the title is really referring to his name, D'Eon, or d'Eon the place/posessive if they just capitalize the whole title ^^;;;

General Questions and Discussion / Recent events and policies we'd like to discuss

« on: October 27, 2007, 11:07:54 PM »

As another board member and fellow listings owner I'll also add my 2-cents and points of view since it's the main idea behind this thread.

About the "6 upcoming" rule, this surely is up to every single one of us way to see it.
I'm speaking for myself when I say, this limit is just about enough to run my own listings in a decent way.
I'm also conscious that we do not have the same needs nor free-time to dedicate those moments to this lovely hobby called "fanlistings" however, what if tomorrow we were to be granted a "20 pendings" limit? if you're getting a hold on yourself and restraining to focus on your most precious subjects wouldn't it be a real madness to suddenly apply for that huge number?
Then again, there's all kind of fandoms, and while some are tiny or just recent/new some others are really huge and do not decrease as time pass by, so 6 pendings might be restraining for those but, this shouldn't mean we've got to apply for everything nor get all we want out of a selfish desire.
Plus, not only would it multiplicate exponentially the amount of applications/approvals thus the amount of work for each staffer (maybe some more than others) but it will also affect updates of all sorts.

This fact brings me down to the update frequency touched on the thread. While, it could be true from an "urgent" point of view to get upcoming/pending applications cleared off everybody's log, each staffer, as us regular members, do have their own life to organize so yeah, one could think "if they can't get their job done, just quit" but taking care of a category must be quite time-consuming and some updates can't be done just because we all want to get approved, there's a time-limit (I think) before an update can be realized.

Anyway, it's not up to me to speak on staffers schedules nor free-time so that's all i'll say about that.
Now, back on the code rule and as it has already pointed several times, the rule has been up for several months now, and whilst I understand having 1, 500+ codes cumulated in a collective (just to make a point based on an non-real case) must be tiring to check and remove/edit I do think it shouldn't be that much a pain to do so. So why insist in not "evolving" like most part of the network and get up-to-date witht he rules instead of just stepping back, again and again? isnt' it a big loss of time bringing up the same topic while we/you could be editing or made the required changes to make listings comply with the not so mew rules? I'd be myself gladly up to help someone with "problems" editing codes but seriously talking around something that had been discussed and solved repeatdly is far from being a sign of progress. It's like we're talking about cleaning our own room instead of actually doing it? It's not funny i know but that's only how I see it, then again i might be mistaken so do not take it as something wrong nor anything since i'm just voicing my concern just as you did.

Being troubled for putting a picture of a manga-ka and writing "fan" just because other people are ignorant is a terrible excuse.

There, I must say that even if I'm not a staffer and obviously the last word is not on my lips, the idea behind this statement is quite an offense. AFL just like TFL or any other network alike, is not made of god-like people who knows everything about everything. For example I might know who Naduki Koujima is but I doubt everybody here knows, then if I see a code for Eiichiro Oda and i have no clue about who's that... well a mere "fan" code even with his face will not help me know who he is and I might just as well step beside a genius and not been aware of it. Anyway the point is, it doesn't hurt to put a nice "Eiichiro"  or "Oda" on the code instead of a simple "fan" which clearly is unmistakable for some of us but not for just everybody across the world. Now. I do think and this come as a suggestion that maybe a thread like : "is that code right?" or something in the line could be open, just to make sure your codes are complying the rule code. Then, if a TC-er report a listing and the staffer judges it "guilty" there's a .... how could I word that? backup? yes, for codes verification. It's just an idea, obviously if done it wouldn't mean staffer should be "harrassed" to check on everybody's codes but crucial doubts could be solved that way.

I think I'm done here. I hope my personal insight won't be taken the wrong way, as the original posters i'm only expressing my own points of view. I also hope some suggestions could be taken out of this and applied in the future, who knows?

ps: forgive typos, grammatical mistakes and whatelse my nap do affect my brain after all *rotf*

General Questions and Discussion / Codes Question

« on: July 28, 2007, 01:28:54 PM »

the safest way would be of course write both characters name or something that points to the relationship.

IE : lets say it's Romeo and Juliet (first names in my head ^^; doesn't mean anything so far) then your possible options would be.
-romeo & juliet
-R&J
-R&J rel
-relationships
-fan (as long as both characters are included on the code)

and so on... there's no absolute rule about what should be written, however i believe the subject on the code must clearly reflect what is supposed to be the listing and not cause any any kind of confusion.

hope that helped ^^
