Change of rules - What kind of Events belong into the Database
<Post edited by Count Zero on 6/4-2016 19:12>
Quite a while ago the mod team started a general discusion on updating the CSDb rules regarding several aspects. To start off "slowly" we started by finding an agreement on changes towards "Meetings" (Parties!). The result can be found at https://csdb.dk/help.php?section=rules under Section V Paragraph 10.
Under 1. we added "C64" to point out that there is a strong desire towards this special 8bit machine. Point 2. was reworded slightly to be more precise.
Both points combined lead to surely debatable combinations and entries but basically it _IMHO_ boils down to:
- defining "historical" regarding C64 scene content and events
- the value of releases
For the "historical" part we have choosen to start off at 1st of January 2000 (to show how liberal we actually are) ending on the 1st of January 2016. You guess right. We found tons of entries without releases and pages requiring a definite update. Overall a quick glance was taken at about 500 of the nearly 2500 "meetings" revealing a horrible picture:
- about 15-20% of the entries simply don't deserve the entry here unless a release gets added (meeting in a pub to spend money on beer is _NOT_ making scene history!)
- MANY of the added links don't work anymore and it is beyond our understanding why http://sil.ly.ip.addy/party.html suddenly doesn't work anymore...
- entries with no linked releases AND only 2-3 sceners attending. This excessive info won't turn the meeting entry into an entry of historic relevance at all - not now and not in the far future really. Entries with no linked releases and MANY sceners attending? Where is at least some party report? YOU SCENERS maintain the database and your entries! It is not up to anyone else to report on how the meeting turned out!
So, the following 61 events were deleted. You can currently not access them. We will restore them on request: meaning "you found the missing release" to be added to that particular entry is one of few reasons to do so. Yes, this MEANS you can finally dig out the disk you saved the scrolltext on at $party, link it to the intro screen and release something!
The list below also means pure drama!

As this affects my group, I only want to point out, that I agree on what Count Zero wrote and I fully support the decision of the moderation team. So no drama from me, sorry :-) About the "Cascade Meeting 2008": not that it is of much interest, but we were really working on a demo on this meeting. Of course, and as always, we failed to finish it, though. I am still faithful, that we will release at least some of the remains... ahem, well... someday. |

Zeldin: I am sure with nowadays speed on packing tools you'll easily master the release soonish. Just let us know about restoring your entry so the release, party report and converted slide show of images taken back then can be added.
Please do not create a new entry! Would just raise the ID without need :) |

Just release anything.
Crap scroller, PETSCII screen, etc.
And then your meeting belongs to c64 scene legacy according to CSDb nazi mods. |

What's your problem, Cresh? Nazi mods? And speaking of releasing stuff, well, that comes from the right person. |

Calm down boys! It's only d.a.t.a.! Mods are always nazis and users are always whiners. That's a natural law. Just look at what happened with Gpz when he stopped being a mod :D |

Now that you've whined about it those two will go back to #19 and #20 on the list. Happy? ;)
Nobody on the staff reads this comment and says "Oh boy! Someone has whined and bitched for the 1000th time, we better get working on that immediately!".
BTW - "voting issues" isn't a topic of discussion for the staff |
