Last warning, about what?
banning me? closing topic? |

lol! This thread is a prime example on how moderators should not moderate.
- Making up rules that are nowhere to be found on csdb.
- Falsely claiming this public website is private.
- Using hyperbole "for content creators to do as they wish with the database".
- Not responding to genuine on-topic comments (by Mixer, Mr.Ammo, Shine, HCL)
- Threatening content creators and using profanity: "Stop bitching, last warning." and "you damn silly bitches"
- Claiming a filename is the same as a title.
- Locking entries because... what?
Now, the proper response should have been:
"Sorry grue, we have silently applied a naming convention for release titles in this database, which was done to make the entries look better and to improve find-ability when people use our search.
Would you mind leaving the title to what we changed it to and use the AKA field instead?"
It would've given you the same result you got now, but without the hassle and aggression coming from all involved moderators.
I appreciate all the slave-labor the moderators put in, but please, let someone with a clue handle the public relations part. |

Quote: The title case converter does not change the first letter of eBay or iTunes.
Explanation: eBay is capitalized in a nonstandard way because it is a brand name, company name or acronym.
Solution: register the mothers creation as a brand, company name or acronym.
I hope you are being facetious there, because this is utter nonsense.
I would say that it is the authors right to call their stuff anyway they please, that is the name of the entry.
Grue could have called it "M-OTH-er''''s creatiooon" or something like that, and it still should not be changed.
And indeed, making the search engine better, maybe by being more lenient, and just not caring about non a-z and 0-9 stuff at all, and maybe also treating repeated letters numbers as one thing.
But just willy nilly changing the names of stuff, when you could instead ask the people who made the prod, is pretty silly. |

Can someone also explain why my screenshot is replaced with another one? What was wrong with the one I supplied?
Care to point me to rules on screenshots. |

The rules for screenshots are shown when you add a screenshot:
Quote:
There are a few simple rules to follow when uploading release screenshots to CSDb:
1. The image must be in GIF or PNG format.
2. The image size should be standard 320x200 (+ border if you want). (No scaling, or filters like CRT-emulation, please))
3. The filesize must be max 512000 bytes.
(i wish someone would add "don't use speccy colors" to this)
There's no politically correct term for 'fucking idiot'. |

plus: pretty please no psychedelic ZX Spectrum color palette for a C64 release screenshot
BTT: Much ado about nothing! But Burglar's got a point stating that moderators show a talent to rather fuel the fire and make things worse than showing some good will and deescalate a situation. Users who have an account for ages here should be used to it and able to deal with it, however, this ain't a girls' boarding school, this is Sparta :) |

Dang i used just what latest vice defaults to... No more screenshots from me, too much hassle to change settings just for screenshot. |

VICE _always_ saves screenshots without CRT emulation, no need to change settings. |

Dude, SNAPSHOT -> SAVE/STOP MEDIA FILE -> SAVE AS FILENAME FOO (set Select Driver to .PNG) is not asked too much and saves you the headache you have with whatever external tools |
