Oh my, lots of useful comments :)

hedning: "The opinions about value are subjective"
Yup and so is yours. It is also why I stated "in my opinion".

hedning: "Hiding them would be some kind of history revisionism."
It would not be if functionality was present to differentiate ripoffs from genuine releases and also be able to use a search setting to in/exclude either.
Actually it is history revisionism now, as ripoffs are put on the exact same level as genuine releases.

hedning: "same goes for people that have strong opinions about what the scene should be, or was, and often just want elite stuff in the database"
Strawman argument, nobody said they "just want elite stuff in the db" in this thread. I did not say anything about recracks for example, these are actually flagged in the db. The ripoffs are not.

hedning: "as long there is a scene connection"
What definition is used for "scene connection"?

ian: "I strongly support the possibility to have a "ripoff" attribute on demos, like there is a "recrack" on cracks. That would help immensely. To complete it, a link field to the original being ripped off/recracked, that appears only when the attribute is checked, instead of having to just to comment about them being ripoffs because that's only possible with comments."
Hell Yeah! Same type of implementation as for crack intros and cracks for example.

I would suggest to "ripoff" uploaders to maybe queue these for later until the required functionality has been added to the database. You can then add them proper from the get-go and you dont have to fix all of them when the functionality arrives.

So many good ideas that will be ignored and/or never happen
