Change of rules - What kind of Events belong into the Database
<Post edited by Count Zero on 6/4-2016 19:12>
Quite a while ago the mod team started a general discusion on updating the CSDb rules regarding several aspects. To start off "slowly" we started by finding an agreement on changes towards "Meetings" (Parties!). The result can be found at https://csdb.dk/help.php?section=rules under Section V Paragraph 10.
Under 1. we added "C64" to point out that there is a strong desire towards this special 8bit machine. Point 2. was reworded slightly to be more precise.
Both points combined lead to surely debatable combinations and entries but basically it _IMHO_ boils down to:
- defining "historical" regarding C64 scene content and events
- the value of releases
For the "historical" part we have choosen to start off at 1st of January 2000 (to show how liberal we actually are) ending on the 1st of January 2016. You guess right. We found tons of entries without releases and pages requiring a definite update. Overall a quick glance was taken at about 500 of the nearly 2500 "meetings" revealing a horrible picture:
- about 15-20% of the entries simply don't deserve the entry here unless a release gets added (meeting in a pub to spend money on beer is _NOT_ making scene history!)
- MANY of the added links don't work anymore and it is beyond our understanding why http://sil.ly.ip.addy/party.html suddenly doesn't work anymore...
- entries with no linked releases AND only 2-3 sceners attending. This excessive info won't turn the meeting entry into an entry of historic relevance at all - not now and not in the far future really. Entries with no linked releases and MANY sceners attending? Where is at least some party report? YOU SCENERS maintain the database and your entries! It is not up to anyone else to report on how the meeting turned out!
So, the following 61 events were deleted. You can currently not access them. We will restore them on request: meaning "you found the missing release" to be added to that particular entry is one of few reasons to do so. Yes, this MEANS you can finally dig out the disk you saved the scrolltext on at $party, link it to the intro screen and release something!
The list below also means pure drama!

I was not aware of such a todo list. Where is it, and more importantly, where can I bitch about it? |

Haha, works like a charm on my box. But seriously though, is there a wishlist for CSDb?
Edit: didn't mean to hijack this thread |

I think a few threads on the forums are sort of a wishlist. Not sure if anyone in the staff ever posted a real wishlist before, I guess maybe groepaz would have been the one to post it in the past. |

Maybe these small events are less important.. no releases, small number of participants, whatever.. but CSDb is good places to keep info about it (even if it's only party name, date and list of visitors). Is it part of scene history or not? (;
...and the CSDb goal say:
Quote:To gather as much information as possible about the C64 scene. The sceners, the groups, the releases and events, AND AS MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THESE AS POSSIBLE. |

There are releases on this meeting, but they're currently "lost". We already found some, and looking for the rest but it'll take some time..
Shall we create the meeting entry again when we're able to locate those releases? |

No, you can send a message to the moderators or PM one directly and the entry can be undeleted. |
