Crazy Credit declined

This is the submission: 230414-020741-436000 . It was rejected as "badly formatted", yet has exactly the same format as other similar pre-credit title cards which have been accepted in the past. There is not enough information in the error message to guess what could possibly be wrong with the format.

Hi @hutch48 -

This one would actually be considered a quote, reason why it was not accepted as a crazy credit. If you see any other, like in this case, that do not belong you are welcome to report them.

Thanks!

@Bethanny​  Here are two current submissions which have been rejected.

230414-020741-436000

230503-000818-596000

I suppose I could add them as Quotes (or "epigraphs" seems to be a description being tossed around for this kind of thing). But there are no guidelines in Crazy Credits to suggest how these should be treated. Somebody should remedy this omission, so that future contributors are not beating their heads against a brick wall.

Thank you, but this is not a quote, since H.P.Lovecraft is not a character in the movie, and is not in the cast list, making this impossible to treat as a Quote.

Do you mean that the automatic machinery assigned to this decided it was a quote because of the presence of inverted commas? Most titles which reference another work of fiction usually contain inverted commas. If this is the case, the bot needs to be recoded, and the guidelines rewritten, to make errors like this more unlikely.

    True to form, the latest two submissions (in my post titled "Another Crazy Credit ... no, two more") have now also been rejected.
