Cleaned my download directory ...

Cracking in 2011? DRAMA!

Let us start with: YOU ALL SUCK!

Wtf is it that about nobody gives a flying shit on release quality? Are you people actually testing and putting _some_ time into releases lately?
While cracks which obviously received some more time are of nice quality I have also seen an incredible amount of things which could have been done better - regardless of the actual game quality.

It is ALLOWED and DESIRED to put loading pictures, musics and "one page hit space" docs onto the mainfile. Making SINGLE FILE releases.
Nowadays it is an absolute necessity to make all trainers selectable (including level skippers) and to check your crap on a simple NTSC x64 setup.
(And IMHO an added builtin levelskipper needs to disable hi-score saving.) Obvious spelling errors seem to be at the rise as well.

So, I hereby request deletion of:

(L)(SEU) Psykozone +D by Onslaught (2011)
(L)(SEU) Project Argus +PD by Onslaught (2011)
(L)(SSE) Mutilator + by Excess (2011)
(L)(SSE) Nyaaaah! - 15th Anniversary Edition + [seuck] by Excess (2011)
(U)(BDC) The Lost Caves 1-6 Collection +3D by Genesis Project (2011)
(U)(3DC) A Chance in Hell [3dck] by Dinasours (2011)
(U)(SEU) Stone Age Fighter Stone Age Fighter [SEUCK] by Dinasours (2011)

Cant remember - the reason for the rule I suppose:
(L)(SEU) Seuck Armageddon 1 by Wanderer and Crypt (2008)

Legend:
L=Locked
U=Unlocked

3DC=3D Construction Kit
BDC=Boulder Dash Construction
SEU=Seuck
SSE=Sideway Seuck

Will delete the unlocked entried on my own if people don't veto. Rant on any entries I missed to publicly ashame the release group a little more.

Moderation please take on the locked entries.

I didn't have the time and energy to read all the post in this thread, but what is there really to argue about? For the love of God, gamemaker-releases? Don't you have any shame in your bodies at all? There have been bad releases for ages (unplayable previews, pure introlinks), but lately, things have risen to a completely new level. SEUCK and BDCK-games, semi-basic shit, unreleased (available) crap from 1982. And this on a scene where there are better games made than in ages. Concentrate on those instead.

I'm all with Count Zero on this one. Ok - I see little practical need for NTSC-fixing in these days, but for the rest i'm all in. But to summarize this - the problem isn't that C0 wishes to delete these "releases". The problem is that you had poor judgement enough to release them in the first place. Shape up.

The problem is I see this DB trying to do more than what it should. It has a policy with cracks yet has no such detail on other release categories (explained by Frantic earlier as inconsistent).

THE LIST - which covers these first releases is something I have done for an incredibly long time. When I decided that we would "use" CSDb as one of the release sites, one of the reasons was that CSDb had the means to stimulate conversation about the release (that FTP lacks). THE LIST will continue to use CSDb, Antidote and TDD as release sites. Hopefully CSDb can try improve its rules to not be so much of a judge on quality but more in cataloging and preserving scene releases. After all, the name implies "C-64 Scene Database", try adhere to that rather than Selective Scene Database.

2f: if you had read this thread you might have discovered that is was not about releasing gamemaker games alone but about something else.

if I say I dislike a 0.99:1 copy of a rambo loading picture, does it make us even then?

maybe it is enough of this craptalk now?
