Rules and behaviour on CSDb.
Over the years that CSDb have existed, there have been some unsertanty what kind of behaviour is allowed at CSDb.
Because of this we have now written down some rules. As it says at the bottom, the rules can be updates/changed at any point, and if this happens it will be posted in this thread.
Any comments to the rules are welcome.
The rules can be found here: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/help.php?section=rules
Read it! :) |

Well, I have the right for privacy. And if you publish my current home address here it will surely collide with my pursue for rest, peace and privacy. See it that way. |

yes, private info (adresses, phone numbers, real names) are an exception and shouldnt be entered by anyone but the "owner" itself in the first place. (i somehow doubt that certain "old" sceners would like seeing all their info here).
however all other info should be more or less "public". if it has been released to the scene, it belongs here and i cant really think of a good reason why it shouldnt be added. |

yup I thought about privacy long time ago and when I'm adding new scener to the database I'm not adding his whole address without his permission.

I usually add all info I can find, it has proven handy many many times when trying to connect a scener's all different handles to the same person.
Most of the old addresses, phone numbers & PLK's aren't valid today anyways and only serve the purpose of identifying possible duplicate entries. |

@Zyron: however, its (more or less) easy to track down a person, even if you know an old address. that said, in many countries disclosing such private info to the public can be considered illegal. |

As far as addresses go, if someone has made their address part of the public domain (by releasing it in a note file or demo) then it shouldn't be a legal issue i think...? Just a matter of the audience being *shitloads* bigger now. |

@tmr: thing is, that the majority of scene release can not be counted as "public domain". (its not public domain unless explicitly stated). also private information is under special protection in many (most) western countries. |

Quote: Quote:3. If any person who "owns" information doesn't want the information in CSDb it is totally their rights to remove it, and should be respected. This means that if you have any doubts that the person who owns the information does not want it in CSDb, you must not add it, and also that this person have the right to delete the information at any time.
I disagree, information cannot be handled like that, only the copyrighted data itself. For example, if a software company doesnt want their game on here, only the downloads (and possibly screenshot) should be removed, not the information about who did the actual release. Nobody owns the rights to that type of info.

From a legal point of view, Burglar is right. One might answer in a differerent way in terms of a generally code of conduct. But I see no reason for that, either. |

But if they're in the database, then the information is already there in one form. |
