Releases cracked by an individual not a group

I've been trying to add in some entries that were cracked by individuals and not groups, such as Bruce Lee (1984). I've noticed that for a C64 Crack, you can add multiple groups and it will say "Released by ..." and list the groups; you can't do such a thing for a specific person.

Am I missing anything here? Shouldn't there be a way to list a release by an individual?

I also believe that there will be side effects. I can't find any examples right now though.
My gut feeling tells me that this must be done manually, otherwise parts of the database will be filled with incorrect information.

Okay .. before people take my suggestion *too* seriously .. I just wanted to show you that there's at least a way to make a list of all *candidates* for such releases. Ofcourse they should be checked manually. Shees, do you guys think I'm an idiot or something?

Wait, don't answer that.

:)

In retrospect, maybe you should have written it was for generating a list of candidates in the first place?

Just did a simple sql-query. That candidate list has 10088 releases on it!! Who want the first 1000? :)

Edit: If i then sort out those who already got a group attached as releaser, we get down to 2074. :)

Nope, I prefer to nudge people in the right direction instead of just telling them what to do ;)

Since it was possible with a simple(?) hack to add sceners as releaser of something, would it also be possible with another hack to let us credit groups for f.ex. music on a release?

I must first of all point out that the "hack" i made for it to be possible to add sceners as releasers of a release, is nowhere complete yet. What I made was the most basic of it for it to work. I bet you can find a LOT of places in CSDb where this new thing is not supported in one way or another, so there is still hours of work to do.

So to make another hack like it should be very carefully thought through.
So is this really nessesary?

It is necessary, but like you say think it through carefully before you implement it.

IMO groups/sceners should be able to be used interchangeably.

This way credits can be given to groups and groups can be members of groups. (although it's probably wise not to allow groups to be members of sceners :)
