| Posted: | | | | So, what is the status on this? Ken says:
Case says "Unrated Extended Super Gross-out Version Too Extreme For Theaters", disc has both rated and unrated version = Unrated.
Well, Live Wire may not have an edition but the top banner does state R-rated and Unrated Versions and on the back it has the Unrated standard logo next to the R rating... I'm still a little confused by this. | | | Last edited: by The Movieman |

| Posted: | | | | As the rule is now, the rating should be entered as R.
"When there is no rating indicated or no rated version of the film on the disc, use the NR rating."
The Unrated indicator is frequently in the Edition field for these. | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

| Posted: | | | | Ok, another question (sorry), but for something like Fame (2009), the cover says Extended Dance Edition and it has a PG version and Unrated version, so is the rating for that profile now PG? Is it in any case where there are two versions (rated and unrated), the rated one takes prescidence or does the front cover have to say unrated in it? Guess I'm still unsure about this... | | | Last edited: by The Movieman |

As I said earlier, having an edition of 'Unrated Extended Cut' with an 'R' rating just doesn't make sense to me. I will, however, abide by the rule...actually I won't as I will just not contribute ratings anymore. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

If this is the case, got some profile locking to do. |

The problem is, earlier in this thread he also said: "Case says "Unrated Extended Super Gross-out Version Too Extreme For Theaters", disc has both rated and unrated version = Unrated." So I guess in the case of Fame (09) the rated version goes but for something like Jennifer's Body because it says Unrated on the front, gets the NR status? | | | Last edited: by The Movieman |

Like The Martian I won't bother with submitting the ratings for these releases either... and will just have to lock them locally for now on. | | | Pete |

As I understand the issue, it is a problem only for titles which include both a rated and unrated version on the same disc. A random sampling reveals that this occurs in less than 1% of entries. However, if you're saying you wont contribute ratings anymore, am I not understanding the issue? | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

The old rule did not specify how these should be handled - the wording was being interpreted one way by some and the other way by others.
