This does nothing, though.

Are you interpreting the word “earlier” to refer to the release of the film, or to the time that the role is added to the Filmography?

When a CfJ is made, “The post shall go on to describe the issue, and measures that shall be taken to resolve it.”  That does not seem to have been done here, so this isn’t really a CfJ.  There’s gotta be something in the CfJ that says what happens if the CfJ passes.  Do people agree with me on this?  I’d like to mark this post as “not a CfJ”, but I don’t think it’s worth making another CfJ over—objections?

We’re required to report the year of a film on the wiki, right?  “earlier” should mean an earlier year.  For the sake of keeping the game moving along, though, we should probably remove the (admitedly ambiguous) requirement:  A role of “Nth Minor Character” may only be added if that Actor has 3 “Extra” roles in eir Filmography.

Difference in interpretation, but whatever. I’ll just change it, it’s not like it’s the end of the world.

I remember this being explicitly stated somewhere in the proposal to add Filmographies.  I want to look at what the proposal actually said, but I can’t figure out how to get to the archives.

I think voting for means “Yes,I think that is legal”? I don’t really think it matters, since no one is objecting to people putting in movies that were made before the could possibly have been alive, and that seems like a lot more annoying issue. It seems to me that the actual movie info doesn’t matter. People just put in movies they like! >_>

I agree with hix.  I don’t like being limited by choices I made when I first started.

I agree with Hix and Amnistar. Removing the requirement is the way to go. I’d like to see the films in order, but it’s too late now; retconning the filmographies would be a pain, and punishing Josh for (possibly) misinterpreting a rule is silly.

hmmm…
Seebo voted yes, meaning that film order shouldn’t matter, and Amnistar voted no, meaning the same thing.
I think we have a problem.

Two things:

1. Voting for this CfJ is pretty arbitrary, as it actually doesn’t do anything,

2. If you must vote for the CfJ, you’re voting for whether you agree the CfJ, not the legality of that it’s talking about. So that’s if you agree with Snowball that an illegality has taken place, or if you think that the status quo can prevail.

Because I actually thought about my choices, and deliberately chose movies with an early year so that I could keep my options open.  I probably would’ve chosen differently if the restriction hadn’t been there.

I’ll probably re-do this later but I want to see the results of my straw poll.
