ANSWERED: Why did the site decide crew could not be (archive footage)?

Okay, I know that this question can only be answered by a staff member, but Col Needham just informed us, on Gromit's "quotes not made by Bill Shakespeare to a reporter in an Olde Avon tavern interview thread" to not put Staff in the subject line, because the monitoring staffer(s)on this board would miss it...but will have no problem seeing, reading and responding to it if we don't put Staff in the subject line. Because instead of a staffer responding to Staff in a subject line, it is faster and more efficient if the assigned- monitoring staffer reads all of the posts.

No crew in archive footage is a policy question and, possibly, can be answered by a contributor who is privvy to employee discussions in Bristol.

Of course, it will only be a short while, today probably, before a monitoring staffer, on the alert for subject lines that DON'T have Staff in the subject line, will respond.

Les: Thanks for your comments, but this just points to why this needs to be explained in the submission guide.

I thought that the crew would not get multiple listings for the job they did one time, not even with the (archive footage) attribute for the later films.

However, you are saying that the crew can get multiple listings for the job they did one time, with no (archive footage) attribute being used for any of the films.

So the policy, whichever policy it is, needs to be documented permanently in the submission guide.
