Release id #88112 : Heil Hitler
This release kicks off a needed discussion about introducing any 'sensitive' (in many meanings of that word) material to this database.
Once again, there should be some rules about such things. Example - besides the above release - is stuff that is offensive to some sceners, done by other sceners in bad taste and certainly not good intentions... I also have some things like this in my collection, but uptil now decided not to share it.
Can we maybe appoint some general approach to this?? |

Hiding obvious references to sensitive topics from index bots or even anonymous users might be the way to go. Say, once one or several sceners have flagged it as such.
This would not hurt the historical archive but prevent (1) arbitrary outsiders from getting offended and (2) careers (et cetera) of the creator -who might have been plain ignorant at the time- from being harmed. |

If the releases are not conflicting with laws of the area where the site is served from, then leave everything as-is and add a disclaimer. Problem solved, fuss over. No one sane will become a nazi, communist or satanist by watching 10+ year old C64 demos made by ideologically/religiously confused teens. |

Sorry Groepi, I've missed the fact that such a disclaimer - although a bit poorly worded, - already exists. Not sure how would this hold up in court once an idiot decides to sue CSDb or Perff because of an animated vector swastika or a a multicolored underage tit (seen stuff here which would easily pass as CP in the eyes of some), but that's not my problem all right.
Anyway. It's Friday. All of you, finish your work and go drinking. |
