Today I saw at least the second contribution where someone tried to contribute

Actor XYZ as As Himself

because it's exactly as credited. Personally I think it's stupid (and bluntly told him so) but what does the community say?

I wouldn't think that "As" is actually part of the role, but just a signifier of what the role is, and that would be "Himself"

The credit, IMO, should be just "Himself"...XYZ as Himself. Adding "As" is redundant and unnecessary.

Getting a negative rep point for that is abuse of the system as well.

It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I Seventh that emotion! Owning a lot of documentries where people are credited 'As Himself/Herself', I always leave the 'As' out of the equation.

It didn't call him stupid, I called the contribution stupid. But I didn't complain about the red zinger either.

Add me to the list of people that agree 'as' should be left out.  I also agree that it is stupid to include it.  Unfortunately, people are sensitive about that word so, while I don't agree with it, I do understand why they gave you a red arrow.
