justindinealone Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 seems kind of ridiculous that the user has the ability to add to this giant database (great idea) yet the submissions have to be approved and never are.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hewie Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 All of my submissions have been approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjustinxschwierx Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 yes, but Nick is busy and alone at managing all the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbw87 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 i agree the whole approval process sucks...i submitted a bunch of stuff last october that just got approved this past week.. i just submitted stuff last night...at that rate it'll probably be on the site around april i wonder why it doesn't become more of a wikipedia type of deal where everyone(or at least members) have the ability to edit and make updates/improve accuracy. so much stuff is out of date now and multiple presses have come and gone while i'm sure those submittals sit in waiting on the flipside i love deadformat as a whole and still use it all the time, i just think the database could be much better if there were a different system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 i'm with the whole approval thing, but maybe make some mods or something to help out and get correct submissions approved quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 There should be a vote system or something. Someone submits something and if like five people verify it it stays. That or it's like Wikipedia. That seems like the best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezfools Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 this is all being discussed on a thread at deadformat, which was started by nick himself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadformat Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah I agree, the current system sucks... but I think I have some cool ideas to change it. See the thread here: http://www.deadformat.net/topic.php?id=13238 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmorgan Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 That sounds like a pretty good idea, Nick. I have to get back into the habit of contributing pressing info to DF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
