maintaining periodically updated entries
*sigh* ok well, to put an end to this nonsence:
- each new release of whatever is added to the database must get its new entry. period.
this is a general rule for everything in the database, and it wont be discussed either. no exceptions. we will enforce this, no matter what. (and no, only because there are other releases which do not follow this rule that doesn't mean that newly added releases may not follow it either - they will all be fixed over time)
that said, i can see how "latest releases" beeing flooded with stuff that gets updated on a daily basis is annoying and unnecessary. no doubt about this, and no need to discuss it either. we will find a solution for this, but it will take some time.
as for now, when you are updating such a release, please do the following:
1. create a new entry for the new release, with the proper releasedate and info and all that.
2. in the old, now outdated, previous version set the release year to "year" (ie, undefined).
3. if the links to the file in the entries aren't permanent, upload the actual file.
this will prevent the old release staying in the "latest releases". the actual year will still be visible in the edit history (for moderators/admins) so it can be fixed/restored later when we found a proper solution.
thank you for your attention :)

May I suggest the option to add links to a release pointing to the previous and the next release in the chain. Also abilitiy to read the production notes from all the releases in the chain sorted by date. that would f.e. suit me well for Eye of the Beholder. Although I guess I simply want to abuse CSDb and turn it into some sort of CVS/SVN-system... ;D |

Well, this makes me want to skip version-numbers for AAY64 from now on and add the possibility to download daily snapshots, just to keep my single entry for it ;D

things like that will only push us to use the other alternative: not include such things at all =P (however, there is a difference between "snapshots" and "release", "snapshots" shouldn't be added at all)

<rant> indeed, wtf. shows you why certain mods choose to tell certain people to simple STFU. if you don't want to help improving the current situation at all, GO AWAY! </rant> |

and jackassers post deleted for no reason. the moderating team smoked grass again. also groepaz started acting like if he was an owner of the csdb, and the scene's only meaning would be to help him in his work. :)) |

I dont want anyone to take me serious. but here's a constructive idea: how about having a forum for discussions about the workings of csdb with rigid moderation rules. and let ppl fool around in the rest. |
