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? |

Quote: And let me finally point out, that it is NOT an excuse for deleting an entry, just that there is no download link, or screenshot or whatever.
CSDb is a place for information about the C64 scene - ANY information. If we had a rule that said "you must only add info if you got 100% of it" we would never have gotten anywhere.
TDJ, Scout: Perff's statement, quoted above, seems pretty clear to me... |

For me personally any info is important, providing there is no anonymity.
If someone later has questions he/she should be able to ask the original poster/uploader for info (and same applies to voting in my opinion).
Example: lets say we find the perfect collector.. some unknown non-scene version of Jerry/Triad for instance.. probably some 80 year old who finds an internet connection with his grandchild and enjoys informing us about all the wares he has collected that we have no knowledge of copying them letter by letter with old grandpa hands from his typewriter written A4 stacks of paper.
Its of course a romanticized example, but it does happen..
These people do not know how to find Mason, Acidchild or CBA (just to name a few of the eager collectors).
Id rather have the opportunity to have people find this database through google or yahoo and give us the chance to thank them and point them towards the above mentioned threesome then not have their info at all.
It could very well be a big mistake to not tolerate info without files.
Having said that and knowing the effort you put into the csdb, I can understand some of the frustration towards lazy people.
So how about this;
We accept that lack of certain old things and are happy with any info on our glorious past BUT we set an (unwritten) rule that its lame to fail on giving all needed info and/or files on any release of 2006 and later?

Please close this topic.
Perff has spoken (I overlooked that, thnx Vanja) and the rules are clear now.
Next CSDb drama, please.

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 :-/

Don't have to worry about that.
You'll just delete the stuff as ususal.
BTW, do you delete sceners too, that ain't credited for anything?
