Entries without files...
Taking the time to add demos with credits & screenshots without uploading the files seems strange to me...
Perhaps someone who's doing it could explain it to me? |

In my opinion; no file = no release
Be careful with deleting unlocked entries; you might trigger the some automatic CSDb banning mechanism.
A trusted user and great supporter of CSDb triggered this just yet :-/

I can only agree, add only an entry if you have a file.
In case your looking for a missing release,
just start a thread.

If something has been released then I think it should be in the database even if you can't upload the file because you don't have it.
If it is all about files then we already have the various FTP servers... |

Okay, add something to the database and PROVE it is released.
That is the whole issue here; an entry in the DB isn't a proof it really exist.
Edit: an entry WITHOUT a file ofcourse.

i have also added a few releases which i dont have, but which are known to exist (mentioned in mags etc).
however, adding a full entry with screenshot and info, but without the file, looks ridiculous to me. the file should have top priority (IF someone has it) since everything else can be done by someone else once the file is upped. |

If you add an entry and you don't have the file
just leave a comment to it that your searching for it.
That way it's clear to all of us.

I have now added a little field on the edit page for releases, where one can write a reason for not adding a download link. Please use this! :) |

And let me finally point out, that it is NOT an excuse for deleting an entry, just that there is no download link, or screenshot or whatever.
CSDb is a place for information about the C64 scene - ANY information. If we had a rule that said "you must only add info if you got 100% of it" we would never have gotten anywhere. |

There have been cases though where an entry consisted of only a name. No group, no credits, no screenshot, no release year & no file. IMO that's nothing to keep since it's more or less impossible to connect it to an (eventual) existing release. |
