One last time: make voting optional when a release is created
There has been so much said about the ridiculous voting system at CSDb, that it is surprising it is still there. A voting system has no place in a database. A database like this collects data, but not votes, which is not fact based, but empathy based.
I don't want to start a new thread discussing this. I just would like to know if it could be agreeable to add a check box when you create a release, to allow or disallow voting for that particular release (one time choice only). I don't want people to vote for my age old releases, nor has that any value when they do. At least give us the choice to ban voting for releases we merely add for archival sake, and not to show off or be judged by lamers.
If that is not agreeable, then so be it. I will consider deleting my archival releases.

so if I do a c64 stuff and for some reason I hate this CSDB and people involved here (I'm not saying that i really do - just an example :D ) I have no option... and simply I doesn't seam to releaase my stuff nowhere on the internet? because it will end up here anyway? hm that's interesting thing which I didnt realized before :D
the iMDB example is not exactly acuurate though. CSDB link and most of the time hosts the .prg and .d64 files which I as an author may no want them to do. iMDB doesnt hosts the files (moves, torrent, etc) or are they?
so can CSDB copy my C64 files (again supposedly) and be OK with the low if the author states in licence tht his particular works can only be downloaded from his site and not stored on other sites?
sorry for this but it really bugs me... |

and then there is the scene that couldnt care less about it. there are even people who harvest commercial databases and post the results on their blogs without asking /o\
really. stop the fucking drama and produce something. at the end of the day the louder you complain, the less likely your stuff will get removed, ever =P |

The scene in general has a quite pragmatic approach to IP. Basically anything goes, as long as you're not claiming other people's work as your own or making money off of other people's work without asking them first. :-)
Edit: Which I think is a quite sensible approach to the whole intellectual property thing. "Don't be a dick." |

Quoting JonIf Mr. Mouse et. al can't have the actual entry removed, it will still be here (sans files) and will still be voted on.
If it has been released, it has been released.

Quote: so stop debating it further, and finally do something.
instead of vote, show nr of downloads, or nothing at all.
but please do it, and end this debate.

Quote: Amen to that.
It's just art and as all art, it's like releasing a paper boat on a little river. Your task is done as soon as you said goodbye to it. So, if it reaches the sea or not, some people will ever find it or not, or they even use it for something or not like writing down the Theory of the Universe, writing a love letter on it, wrapping around some weed and smoke it or wiping their asses with it - it's really all the same. It is a great deal of a lot of random things and ever existing confusion inside the skull of people.
Ease up, care less, release more. Positive ears are around.
Very well put.
By the way, if, Mr. Mouse, it is about uploading your old stuff here, I don't think you have to worry too much anyway - small old stuff does not get voted much anyway. There is just too much stuff uploaded every day; the people that bother to vote usually check out the new releases only.
From my side, I would be very glad if you would continue uploading old historical stuff for the sake of conservation, and share it with the ones interested here.
Cheers,
