Cebion Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Jason I have the Moderation submenu left of changes status. Once I click it it throws me back to DB Start Page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Ah, got it figured out. I was showing the Moderation link on the Changes Status page even if you weren't a moderator. Should be fixed now. I went ahead and granted you moderator status as well, @Cebion. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 retrtokid said I've a question to ask about moderating, how do you go about changing / or suggesting that the platform is wrong? Your not able to edit the platform of a game within the database. I'm trying to help moderate the BBC / Electron games, noticed that the few games that are in the Electron platform were not in fact ever released on that platform. Right now adding or removing games doesn't exist. That will be available in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Rest assured though that I do plan to allow you to change platforms. Originally I thought it wasn't going to be necessary, but with the confusion of MS-DOS vs. Windows, for example, I think sometimes it will be. So I will be adding that at some point here.

Cebion Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 While doing some edits I missed a comments box for submittings to state a reason why I want that change. For example there was a box cover online but with mobygames branding so I changed it with one without one. If the change only contain minor changes it would be nice to have some insights.

Jason Carr Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Agreed, this is definitely coming eventually. I need to implement adding games as the top priority for the database, and then we can swing back around to some of these improvements.

Definitely agree with some comments for modifying images. This would make is much easier to see why an image has a delete request, unless the image is obviously the wrong one for the game, it is currently quite difficult to see what the reason is for the change.

Please read it carefully as well. @SentaiBrad, I have notice that many edits seem to be replacing the actual first release date of a game (Usually Japan) with the North American release date. I feel the release date should always be first release, maybe something to clarify this in the guidelines would be worthwhile? @Jason, perhaps in a future update there could be separate date fields for different regions?

Jason Carr Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I've had the same thought, Scott. I think ideally we'll want to support multiple release dates (one for each region). It'll probably be a while before we get there, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 The forums have been updated to include a LBGDB section so that all the conversation threads in this one thread can be switched to over there. https://www.launchbox-app.com/forum Scroll down, it's right above the Off Topic section. The sections are a bit self-explanatory but hopefully this will bring order to the conversation. The thread for the Guidelines is now here: https://www.launchbox-app.com/forum/games-database-news-and-updates/moderator-guidelines#p15363 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Thanks, Brad. Yes, let's everyone move conversations over to new forum posts on the new forums (this is getting a bit unwieldy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hi everyone, I'm going to close off this thread so that we can move all discussion over to the new LaunchBox Games Database forums. Feel free to start a new topic there if you have something to discuss. Also, I'm looking for feedback on new fields here: https://www.launchbox-app.com/forum/games-database-news-and-updates/new-fields Thanks!
