dead accounts ?
How exactly does someone get deleted or banned from CSDB? I am asking for two reasons?
1- I would really like to know why ALIH got deleted
2- For the sake of database integrity. Isn't deleting someone breaking the credits of a release. Now for instance all the GameOverview issues are lacking ALIH in their credits. Isn't that unfair to a guy who has created 35 issues of a great diskmag on the face of an incredibly barren game scene. And apart from the unfair thing isn't this plain wrong to give wrong information in the database. ALIH did create those mags. If the admins etc have a problem with his behaviour in forums (I do not see how) just ban him from entering forums but do not delete the account entirely.
I would like to request people to stay on topic and not turn this thread into the other one about Alih. But there is always that risk anyway |

scener profiles aren't connected to user accounts, so when someone gets banned, all the info will still be in the database. (see for example wanderer)
as for alih, i doubt he was banned (i dont see a reason either), but he probably deleted his profile himself. (he never considered himself a scener, and certain recent discussions might be the cause for his decision). |

As this is supposed to be a Database over sceners, work of sceners and releases - I see no reason to delete informations about anyone really. Lamers, Idiots or simply Wanderer did his share of the scene - most likely to be forgotten anyway, but still as said, part of history.

In the case of Alih, it was his own decision. He emailed me and told me vaguely that certain people who had problems in the scene with him, decided to extend the playground to outside of the scene and stir trouble to his friends, his company, etc. Jaymz then decided to quit all scene activities. Just to clear that up a bit. |

Quoting AlihTurns out I don't care about the c64 that much when it effects my real life friends. I can't be emailed, someone had my upstream email provider's bandwidth pulled.
The funny thing is, I wasn't in control of the offending website in any case, I just paid for the hosting. But I don't think I care anymore.
A bit cryptic but it makes clear that it was his own choice indeed. |

Looks like a stress ball to me :)
Ho, ho.
Back on topic: Yes, I think it is a good idea, regarding dead accounts to remove them :) |

That is so fucked up. And such a great loss for the scene. I dare say nobody did a better diskmag. :-( |
