Release id #139885 : Captain Dynamo +11D [crazy hack]

i wonder what exactly constitutes a "crazy hack" and why releases that appear to be regular cracks (according to csdb terms of course) - with the only exception that they dont seem to follow certain "scene rules" (which mind you, are not, and never have been, relevant for csdb) are tagged as such. if i start calling my release "awesome hack" in my intros, will they get tagged as such too? :)

I think "wise" rules are very necessary.
The most important point is to make/keep this database transparent!
"crazy hack" is no real quality standard generally.
But there is no explicit rule, which consider this or similar terms.
I would prefer "exact" rules for name conventions (standards), like existing rules.
Transparency should be as objective as it helps for finding/sorting releases.

"Crazy Hack" and "Jewel" both seem like 'group-internal categories', invented designations, and should not be morphed into 'CSDb tags' in brackets.

Of course everyone can name their releases as they want. So I'd suggest removing those non-tags like [crazy hack] and [jewel] and put these in the "aka" field instead.

E.g. what now is "Captain Dynamo +11D [crazy hack]" would become "Captain Dynamo +11D" in its name and "Captain Dynamo +11D (crazy hack)" in the aka field.
