hubz Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 I've been working on the Game Boy section and have had some name changes and image deletions go through and be accepted but they don't seem to be taking effect. The big one is Arcade Classics No. 1's name not matching the rest. Also if anyone wants to help with the Game Boy let me know, I'll tell you me method and would love the help. - Hubz
SentaiBrad Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 The deletion bug should have been fixed. It may take some time for the changes to take effect, even after being approved, so if it's been 24-48 hours after it's been accepted, then there might be a problem. How long has it been?
hubz Posted November 19, 2016 Author Posted November 19, 2016 It's been over 24 hours so maybe something is wrong?
FistyDollars Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 I can confirm, the deletion bug has returned. I submitted request for THIS and THIS to be deleted (duplicates of existing NES games), the moderations were approved, and yet they remain.
Vlansix Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the info! Will look into it. Edit: On it now. Will advise once I figure out what's up. Edit2: Quick update. Seems like the deletion requests are getting approved and are going through the deletion process, but then are not being deleted. Which is odd, but the good news is that this should be resolved quickly :). Edited November 21, 2016 by Vlansix
Vlansix Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Right, good news and bad news. I actually can't reproduce this on my end. (i.e., when I grab the deletion requests, remove the approval for them and then approve them myself normally through the moderation UI, they work. When I look at them going through the code, they also work as expected. When I try deleting any other game, that also works. When I try to make a new account, upgrade it to moderator and have it approve the deletion, that also works. So, basically, it works. The bad news is that there seems to be certain conditions where it doesn't. Might be related to the previous archive. So, here's the plan- If you keep encountering this in a week or so, let me know. Add links, like FistyDollars, so I have more data to work with :). I'm hopeful that it's just the system having some issues with the removal of over two million moderation requests and not finding certain bits of data that were linked to some requests that weren't approved at the time of archival.

FistyDollars Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 Just had a few games not stay deleted: Abarenbou Tengu for the NES, 3DSCraft for the 3DS, DSCraft for DS, Sonic & Knuckles + Sonic the Hedgehog 3 for Genesis had approved deletion requests, but are still there. Also, had a request to add an alternate name to 3-D WorldRunner for the NES get approved, but the alternate name wasn't added ("The 3-D Battles of WorldRunner".) In addition, a Fan Box Front for Mr. President! for Windows was approved for deletion, but is still there. Bubble Bobble Plus! for Nintendo Wii had a deletion for this Box Front be ignored. Sorry for the big list of problems.
SentaiBrad Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 I personally like Sonic and Knuckles + Sonic 3, as it makes sense. Those games were totally meant to be one and can be played together for the full experience... so part of me wishes it'd stay. It'd be more accurate with the Rom hack specification though. Also, crap. We were hoping the delete bug wouldn't rear it's ugly head, @Vlansix was afraid it wasn't gone. X_X

There is ALSO an entry called "Sonic 3 & Knuckles", which is the correct title of the combined games according to Sega. The other entry is a duplicate of that with the name I listed. I completely agree with you on the validity of that game. For what it's worth, the percentage of deletions with issues is still much lower than its ever been, I'm just making sure nothing slips through the cracks. Edited December 11, 2016 by FistyDollars
SentaiBrad Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Of course, we certainly appreciate it. Knowing that it's a duplicate then, for sure the not-correct one should be deleted. I bet that one got created because I recall the rom being called that, but just because the rom is called that doesn't mean it's what the game is called.
FistyDollars Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Update: There are also two entries for "Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal" for PS2, despite me having successfully submitted one for deletion.
Vlansix Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Thanks for the feedback guys. Will look into this shortly. Ugh. 1

Yeah, I've also submitted one for deletion. You submitted for this one right ? http://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/7683. Because the other one has all the artwork.
FistyDollars Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 No, I submitted the other one, since at the time, it was named Ratchet & Clank 3, and we generally prioritize the North American title. However, since it's now been changed, it's probably better that the other one be deleted. Artwork can be re-submitted though.

Then both will be deleted since the other one got accepted for deletion as well.....
FistyDollars Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Well, that or @Vlansix reads this very thread and fixes the issue. 1
Vlansix Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Aye, i'll be looking into this shortly. Kind of annoying that this is still happening. I won't be resubmitting the oreviously approved requests as some people may resubmit and/or change those entries, and I don't like mass deleting things generally speaking, so no worries.
hubz Posted December 12, 2016 Author Posted December 12, 2016 Yeah looks like my deletion wasn't processed despite being approved on Castelvania Adventure for Gameboy on the old front box art image. And my changes to Bonk's revenge on the Gameboy for overview and publisher and ESRB that were approved haven't applied yet either but it's not quite been 48 hours yet so that could be why?

Well it could take up to 48 hours after approval, but it's a guesstimate, it could be 2 hours if approved at the right time. The shorter the better obviously.
FistyDollars Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 Update (again): two more games need manual deletion - Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (a duplicate of another entry with the same name), and NewerNSMBW 1.1.1, which as I've stated elsewhere, is so obviously wrong that I can't believe it got added.
