Top list for added screen shots?
First of all, I respect that not everybody wants to take the time to add screenshots.
Personally I think it's nice to have them, even for text-tools and similar. I guess I'm a visual kind of person. :)
Anyway, to motivate people that are adding screenshots, could we have a top list of which people added the most screenshots on the statistics page?

I think releases like that are mostly additions from beyond the birth of time, where CSDb only supported one screenshot size |

Yep - I know most of the Focus demos still have the 'small' size, because that was the only possibility back then. |

Ok, I take back the death verdict in that case. ;-) |

Quote: I hate that points idea. It's exactly the same as counting who has added the most entries. Stopid people will start adding empty entries just to get sub-famous.
The same shit happened after this years LCP! I checked csdb on the following monday, and all demos were already added :), but totally empty :(.
So why count added void?
Don't count the void. Count the content. e.g: the actual release binary, the screenshot etc...
One complication here is that csdb is used for two different purposes.
1. Contemporary releases.
2. Scene history.
I'm personally mostly interested in the scene history, although I enjoy the new stuff aswell.
I think number 2 will benefit the most from top lists, and with only a minor risk of people just adding stuff for points.
The stuff is already there just waiting to get added!
For number 1 the risk is probably a bit higher. You can invent an arbitrary number of non-existant releases just for points. |

The real problem is often that the release is locked so it can't be fixed!
There are quite a few locked releases with incomplete info, missing screenshots and such. (though credits for a release can be changed anyway :) ) |

I hate locked incomplete entries. The best would be if it wasn't possible to lock an entry unless you've uploaded a file & a screenshot. |

That should be no reason to not replace them _now_! :) |

But people like me can :) if anybody would send me email and attach the missing files :) |

but in case of e.g. some groups, some people added wrong info when it wasn't locked. |

...and *atleast* one credit. :) But maybe it would be better if you had to write a (damn good) reason for locking something, and if the reason wasn't good enough or the record seems incomplete the request would be rejected. |
