Trolley Follies
"The entry was deleted by a moderator on 2018-06-20 12:13:48+00 for reason: basic, not worthy"
until now, i always thought we are acting by the rule of "we dont judge quality" here. apparently that has changed now? please point me to the new rules that now define what is worthy and what is not. (and why this: http://www.blackcastlesoftware.com/games/trolleyFollies/ is not) thanks. |

Reading this makes me really sad somehow...
Wasn't CSDB meant to be an archive for the history of *all* scene activities connected to the C64? Who has the right to draw the line between scene-relevant and non-relevant?
Why not let every C64 release be admitted to the db? Even though I'm not a friend of the current voting system (I consequently avoid using it) I think that crappy stuff will get its deserved share by receiving a constant low level of votes.
Some kind of tagging system would simplify (read: structurize) things even more but I won't open that can of pandora here ;)
Just my 1/2 cent... |

CSDb is indeed a SCENE database, not a EVERYTHING GOES database. WE mods are drawing a line to allow scene stuff and disallowing non scene stuff and people. Not everything is scene stuff. To allow everything we should remove SCENE from the name of the db and add a DUMPSTER in it. And yes, WE decide what to do. Not happy with it? Make a demo about it. |

"Not everything is scene stuff."
thats out of the question.
so, what IS scene stuff then?
PS: kinda sad that obviously some ppl, even moderators, dont know the existing rules even - see https://csdb.dk/help.php?section=rules - and its the moderators job to enforce those rules, not to arbitrary decide whatever they feel like. its not the moderators who decide, its the moderators who set up the rules. important difference. |

"Scene stuff" is stuff released/produced by a scener.
To be a scener you need to pass the Certified Professional Scener Exam with a score higher than 65%.
I finally made it last year after retrying 3-4 times. lotsa questions about bitch and bikes or sumthing like that. tough one! :) |

I think that 8bit BASIC coding in 2018 is really cool. that's pure retro dedication! Today for the C64 I'm using win32 IDEs to asm code, win32 compilers, win32 tools to paint, emulators, etc. So, those modern BASIC coders, despite the quality of the results, deserve more respect that me. I feel like those like Cout are l33t and I'm ze lamah here.
I hope the BASIC ban decision can be reversed. "not worth releases", while recracks, stuff done with intromakers, horrible stuff done by a casual c64 owner with zero scene links, etc is kept. it makes me *uhm* *uhm* *uhm* a lot. |

ok seems like you like your basic crap, here, everything undeleted, divarin and cout, basic entries, all restored.
Don't ask my opinion on this anymore. Seems like it doesn't have any weight so why bothering? |
