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 :-/

Hall of shame, hmm... I don't really know what to say about this.
First of all, I didn't know that you had to upload the file (I did taht with all the stuff where I had the original file). I just thought that it would make it easier for others to add the file if that found it.
Secondly, I got this message from Scout while I was adding releases that releases without files would be deleted within 24 hours. I wrote him back immediately that I would erase all of my "empty" releases right away. I started to do so, got my account deactivated, then activated again and deleted the rest of the releases.
And then I'm in the hall of shame?!?! I don't really get it.
Well, I'll still be searching my old .d64 images to find more stuff that isn't in the csdb database. By now I've only added 91 releases (all with files!) and maybe I'll qualify to work my way out of the hall of shame...
Let's focus on what counts: Finding more releases for the database!

Deleting entries just because there is no file? BULLSHIT! I will not add any more information to this database as long as the file-gestapo will keep acting this way. |

Okay, if you all want to make this database one pile of shit I quit my activities regarding this db; no more uploads & corrections of the entries from my side.
This time I really had it with you lot.
Have a ball and fuck up this database.
Yay & Woo! \o/

Wow .. I thought *I* was a drama queen. So if somebody has the file on floppy, enters as much information as possible but has no way to transfer the file to pc, he FUCKS UP the database? Is that it?
Entry without any information = pile of shit.
Entry with information but without a file = a valid entry.
We've had this discussion a million times over. Ofcourse, if somebody has the file he should upload it. But not everybody can transfer their stuff, it's that simple. I myself have been without these possibilities for quite a long time as the XE1541 cable I had didn't work on the laptop I wanted to use for it.
And to delete an entry, without consulting Perff if it's okay, to me is an abuse of your power.
Edit: fuck that, to delete an entry whatsoever is an abuse of your power. This is not the most user-friendly system in the world, if people take the time to actually enter information they should not be rewarded by seeing it all flushed down the toilet. |

In my opinion, yes.

Indeed, and this is the last time for me.
I really had it with these stupid discussions. It is like running in circles.
Same goes for the anonymous voting discussion.
Perff should make a final decision about all of these issues.

I have the same powers as you have.
All I want is a clean database; entries with correct credits *AND* a file.
Everybody can add a release without credits and without a file and claim it does exist.
In my opinion this is database pollution.
Anyway, I made up my mind.

You're right about one thing: Perff should make up his mind and set the rules. If he decides that uploading a file is absolutely required, I will no longer protest against it. But I expect you to do the same if he decided otherwise.
As for the anon. voting thing; I have given up on that a long time ago :( |

The only time I've delayed on adding a file link, is when my son was crying (I'm sure Zyron can relate to that?), then CBA came a long an added a file before me! I still added my version of the file later though... Niels is quick though! :)
