Release id #102337 : Bleeding Ink
Fuck.
What's wrong with this one!?
The download link is there.
The explanation for deletion says "video != c64 release", yet other wild entries from that party (linked as wmv) remain intact!!! See here, wild compo -> Silesia Party 5
This is fucking bullshit. |

Quote:But you allow YT links in releases.
IF there is a link to a binary, then we MIGHT allow such links. if there is ONLY a youtube link, then the entry will usually get killed. no, by now i dont expect you to understand what the difference is anymore.
Quote:There is a "WiLD Demo Compo" category in events. Do you created it especially, so it stays empty because the wild demos themselves are not allowed to be put there?
what do you think, is this for all and every wild demo, or is it for actual c64 demos that for some reason entered a wild competition?
Quote:I am still waiting for the explanation on the party videos.
i seriously lost the motivation to explain by now to be honest. they are something entire different. if "bleeding ink" belongs here, then fritz lang is a c64 scener, i guess. if you dont get the difference, then i cant help you. |

I asked about the difference between the party videos and demo dvds. And please, quote the rules this time, so we are sure this is no some distinction that is just "in the moderator's conscience", like the difference between scene paper art in PDF and scene paper art in AVI with a SID soundtrack. |

So the rules MIGHT be bend for some? Just not for everyone? |

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. There's a ruling elite on this site and it's starting to fucking smell. |

A bit offtopic maybe but I'll get to it in the next paragraph.. About 2 weeks ago I had finally got my DVD drive connected back in the PC and I still didn't run thos two DVD's that are sitting on my desk since I got them. I preffer to switch on C64 and compose or watch demos. I don't judge or anything like that but I don't feel guilty for that either. I just didn't ask for it, and I don't feel obliged to check it. I could forward it to someone else, just give me the address.
As far as my own opinion is concerned. I was always against more or less related C64 stuff promoted at c64.sk, retro nostalgiac stuff, various movements not directly supporting creative scene (like remixes, registered c64 religion, etc.) during the years my internal rules got weakened, and although I'm still against general stupidity, I appreciate everything that is promoting the scene culture in creative ways. Maybe even your DVD, which, however I didn't check yet because of various personal and emotional reasons.
I can understand the feelings. It's weird (;-) if people are not accepting something I consider to be good stuff (like my long time friend not wanting to watch some movies because from the synopsis he deducted that they will not suit his preferences). It's a bit frustrating and stupid, but one has to accept it. Most people won't tell us that they give a fkkk about what we do or love, we should appreciate those who sincerely tell us.

edit: this particular release seems to present some disc cover graphics in creative way (while playing sid tune in background) and it has entered a wild compo at some scene party. So it has some connection to C64 (creative) scene as it was created by C64 sceners, using C64 or C64 related material. (If I get it right.) So it probably could stay as entry in the database if there is will to accept it. Still if it doesn't stay, it might also be added to pouet which allows generally every release related to scene. There are still ways to get it spread.
Instead of arguing about preferences there should be some practical conclusion. |

there is a ruling elite on EVERY SITE. if you dont like this, you better leave the internet.
Quote:I asked about the difference between the party videos and demo dvds.
video from venlo meeting documents a historic event and legendary party. video from c64 demos is boring uninspired crap that has no purpose other than not watching c64 demos how they were ment to be watched. no, i dont expect you to understand the difference.

indeed. and this solution can not be "just allow everything". as i said the other day on irc when lemmings head exploded :) the core problem is that there *must* be rules what belongs here and what doesnt - else ultimatively everything is "c64 related". and then everyone of us has different ideas of what is and what is not. and we will never ever all agree 100%. (and to be honest, if from thousend users a handful dont agree, then really nothing is wrong at all, as that will always be the case.) |

This dvd contains much more than c64 demos, including recordings from historic events like parties, wild demos connected with c64 that are not available anywhere else and other stuff. No, I don't expect you to appreciate the creativity, inspiration and 4 years of slave work put into something you just deleted without any consideration.
------------------------------
I'll stop my "complaining" here, as continuing on this discussion may result in a ban of my person (read the rules). Instead, I have written a formal request to consider changes to the moderators. If that's a preffered way to solve such disputes, let it be.
I do not have any personal gain in these discussions. I sincerely think what I argue about is for the benefit of the site and the community. Anyone has a right to a different opinion. |

You proposal of rules change would make this a C64 scene related database. The biggest value of this database is in more-or-less C64 executable data being stored here (with credits etc.). That's the content that has the highest value. Everything else is just the context... padding around it. I don't think having padding in the release timeline would make value of this database higher, therefore only solution in current situation is to try to not accept the padding as releases.
Simple illustration of what I mean:
Groups 6552
Sceners 18552
Releases 106675
Events 1707
Do you really think we should brag about ammount of C64 related releases or about ammount of files that are C64 executable*. If we start to accept everything as release we might double the ammount of releases in few years.. with what result? Would it make the quality of C64 demos/msx/gfx better? Did jingle compos, javascript demo compos, website compos etc. help to make PC scene parties better? I don't think so. Like I say in my profile, trying to please everyone is fastest way to failure.
But.. I think there should be some way of storing group related non C64 executable releases in the database. Somethink like I had at C64.sk news dustbin.. where I moved also releated stuff that I didn't consider directly a C64 scene news worthy.
*Let's not argue about details like why covers are accepted or why some entries are still there even when they are videos etc. I don't care about exceptions now. I'm trying to talk in general.

Pouet.net is waiting for C64 related material, which is not allowed on csdb. |
