Stop un-deleting my file!
Whoever it is (I can guess) who keeps undeleting my Bitmash.exe, please stop being purposefully irritating and leave it alone.
It's NOT a c64 release, it's NOT a scene release, it's a PC exe of something I thought someone might eventually find useful but after the constant irritating requests for source (I'm not 6, asking once is enough) I decided to delete it until I'd done a more complete version.
Seems kind of idiotic to have a delete option to then only ignore a persons wishes to have THEIR file removed. If you're going to insist on putting it back again at least a) Give me a good reason (and no, it's for history bullshit isn't a good one) and b) remove all the bullshit comments from it.

this is silly really.
that file was released. that file is a scene release (if it wasnt, it would have been deleted right away in the first place). csdb archives scene releases. end of story.
and no, people asking for source are not trolling.
and that copyright nonsense, yeah. the scene cares about that, like back in 1985 !!!!
Quote:Either leave it deleted or remove the comments.
comments are never a reason for an entry beeing removed. we have, and will, restore entries which are getting deleted just to get rid of some comments. and you cant demand to get comments removed which are pretty much to the point like in this entry either.
and as to why there is a delete function: to remove entries which are invalid, or dupes. there hardly is another reason to delete an entry, ever.

It IS trolling when someone asks for source, gets a perfectly reasonable reply, asks again, gets another reply, asks again and again etc. Only deleting the release stopped it. In your opinion it's a scene release, in mine it's not and I'm the one who uploaded it to a section where non "c64" stuff seems to go.
Maybe I made a mistake uploading it here but at least stop being an idiot for once and leave it deleted OR delete the pointless comments and when I've finished the next version I'll upload it WITH source and that'll solve all the problems. It seems you guys will go out of your way to avoid doing anything anyone asks just to show you can do things your way..
*edit*
The comments on that entry are NOT "to the point" unless you class repeating of a request for source (NOT a requirement) when an explanation of WHEN source will be uploaded (my choice) to be sensible comments? |

Cut it.. No one forces you to reply to messages/comments that you feel are unreasonable. I can see that you are irritated, but.. just leave the whole issue alone and it will not be an issue anymore. |

Quote: You have to state a reason to delete files, and I bet the file was undeleted because the reason wasn't considered acceptable. Deleting version 1.0 to replace it with version 1.1 isn't valid. If you don't understand this, better not add your stuff to csdb.
What good is "better not add your stuff to csdb" gonna do if you can expect others to upload it instead? Would it be deleted on request then? |

Quoting JCB... As it is Mr SID himself (who kept insisting on me uploading source) told me that the file shouldn't be there if I wasn't going to release source for it...
I see no reason for uploading source-codes if you don't like to... there are no rules that you've to include source-codes for cross-platform tools, or am I wrong?!
Insisting for source-codes is the same shit like demanding the tools for other OS... if the author releases stuff just for one specific OS or don't want to include sources, then stick with it... be happy you got a new tool!
So just ignore those comments Pete...

I don't actually mind A (singular) request for source or even a build for another platform (presuming it's a simple thing to do as in this case, a single file C commandline thing) but in this case the requests kind of got ridiculous so I deleted the release to save me (or anyone else) having to read it any more. |

no it wouldnt. like i said above, there hardly is a valid reason to delete an entry, except it is invalid, broken, dupe or sth like this.

yep, indeed. also get used to people commenting your releases like they feel like, often not the way you want it to be.
