Bedroom producer has put some home-made remixes up on his website and added them to ogs on a non-existent label. Not a hope in hell these are eligible.

Please have a look at zionsgate's submissions. I have looked through a few of them and left comments as well. On a couple, he flat out doesn't want to fix his errors. We need more voters to give him a push. Most of his submissions are "Copy To Draft" so you can expect some errors with those.

Dear Friends, I want inform you that...

"Dear Friend,
I feel deeply aggrieved about this situation and this is why I reacted as I did. My gesture was of anger but mainly of protest against those rude,arrogant,presumptuous and envious individuals of whom there are many on Discogs.
I agree that many of my submissions needed to be modified but I refuse to accept that every time I turn on my computer I receive a minimum of 20-30 emails often from the same individuals who comment on every little and often insignificant imprecision.
I do not like being under such scrutiny and I object to the often incompetent individuals who comment on any submissions without a true knowledge of, and particulary when not in possession of, the material in question. E.g.Records, CD's etc.
I recommend you take into consideration changing some rules. For Example whoever commennts on a submission take on the responsibility and burden of intervening directly and applying the proposed modifications.
It isn't the missing comma, the capital letter, the missing track version etc. which depreciates the database as some individuals uphold, more it is the lack of new material, the vital energy which constantly enriches the database. The rest is puerility.
In essence, my intention was to contribute with humility ti the enhancement of Discogs but it is evident there is too much envy within this environment. Observations should be made with courtesy and manners, not with arrogance, presumptuousness and jeopardizing an individuals'submission.
This is a hobby, a passion we should share. Let's try to make this our objective.
Thank you. Maurizio"
I'm sorry but I haven't received an answer yet.

"I am writing to you, Founders of Discogs,to CLARIFY with SINCERETY and LOYALTY of my situation.I had a dispute with one of the members, who provoked me for trifle things and absurd request and continuosly sending the many e-mails which I cannot handle. I work and do not have all the time necessary to dedicate to answering them. I requested to decrese them but they continued to arrive.
When I answered Nik's e-mail- not knowing he was the GENERAL MANEGER- I risponded in an improper manner, taken by anger and distress. Unfortunately, I am impulsive.
I realize that I should not have tried to remove my submissions from the database- therefore I have been suspended by Nik.
I feel that even with my limits and errors, I worked hard for Discogs "200 sub" in 5 months.
I discovered Discogs 6 months ago I was immediately ENTHUSIASTIC for my passion and experience in musical material. I am not a youth- I am 50yrs old and I have a son I own about 50.000/ 70.000 vinyl records. I wanted to contribute to enrich database.
I regret this unfortunate situation that has come about, excusing myself, hoping I'll be undestood.
Your Sincerely Maury

P.s. Being my english is poor- I had someone help me write this letter and also the one sent to Nik."

What do you think? What are those messages about? Whats actually the problem?

Youre not the only users here yknow.




Just like to point out that this is utter nonsense. You are not special. You are subject to the discogs guidelines such like everyone else. If you cant check your submissions before submitting, and then edit them if requested then dont have a temper tantrum. What makes you so damneed different that the guidelines that all the users abide by shouldnt apply to you?




No. It is YOU who are incompetant. It is YOU who are making the mistakes. Everyone is just pointing them out. If you cant deal with the system on discogs - that is other users check and edit your submission - then LEAVE.




You make the mistakes and the fault is everyone elses?

Two choices Chuckles:

1) Dont make the mistake
2) Fix the mistake when its pointed out to you

there is no:

3) Have a big fissy fit and complain to the management about your own failing.

Yes, other users dont own the release in question, but often the errors in the submission mean they dont have to. If you have not submitted the data in the correct way, you will receive less than correct votes.

This is how it works. Deal with it.

And how DARE you talk about 'passion' when youve been here a mere 6 months. Theres people voting on your submissions youve been here nearly 6 YEARS and if it were not for them you wouldnt even be here in the first place.




Envy? Whats to do envious of? Do you think people are giving you bad votes and asking for corrections because your a DJ or youve got a big record collection? What planet are you on?

Youve not been singled out for any other reason other than your submissions were full of errors. Anything else is paranoia on your part.




They wouldnt have to if you submitted correctly in the first place.

Youve got a freaking nerve to request that the system be changed just because you cant deal with votes and being requested to make changes.

Submit items correctly, read the submission guide, leave decent release notes, in general actually PAY ATTENTION to the way this site works and maybe you wont have as many problems.

maurydj wrote:

This answer confirms my opinion... calm down I didn't offend you

Jayfive wrote:

Yes you did. Oh believe me you did.

This line for instance....




...i take as a PERSONAL insult. As should any user who has spent time making this site what it is. How can you have the sheer temerity to come on here and say that the accuracy of information isnt important? You should delete your account here and now for that.

The way you talk about this site and its users generally offends me greatly. I and many many others on this site have worked our bollocks off for this site so that theres a database of 1million+ entries.

You talk about minor edits not being important in your email - thats a personal insult to every ex-moderator, voter and submitter in the database who makes the effort. If the more minor details in submissions werent important, this database would be a complete mess and you wouldnt be here in the first place.

And you swan in here after a few months of submitted and cast judgement simply because users have taken the time to get your submissions correct. They are DOING YOU A FAVOUR.

So rather than actually try and work with people, you go over the heads of everyone and whinge to the management. Now pardon me if users feel thats a bit of a kick in the teeth for their hard work.

And no offence but the fact that youve 50 years old and youve got a massive record collection and whatever else does mean a thing. Its about knowing how to submit the information based on discogs guidelines, not just knowing about music.

Now either at least try and submit correctly or dont submit at all seeing as you want everyone else to correct YOUR mistakes and do all the work for you.

YOU are the arrogant one
YOU are the presumptious one
YOU are the rude one

I say again: Either make the effort to submit properly or dont submit at all. No-one going to move the goalposts just for you.

Jayfive wrote:

And for the record the emails are generated automatically by discogs. If you dont want to be notified by email every time theres a comment on one of your submissions, turn off the notifications

Edit: I remember you now - youre the guy who added a load of submissions then tried to delete them all just because you were asked to make corrects.

I ask you everyone, should we change the rules for someone who behaves like this:
http://www.discogs.com/submiss...item=release/1497378 - deleting because hes been asked to include spaces

http://www.discogs.com/submiss...item=release/1486165 - deleted because hes been asked to to a LP tracklist in A/B format

http://www.discogs.com/submiss...item=release/1509684 - deleted because...who knows?

Hell, these are the people we really need to be listening to so we can improve discogs even more.

I'm sorry if you feel upset, It wasn't my intention to offend you or anyone else,I'm not judging your work but the way you do, in a very arrogant way.

Thank you

Jayfive wrote:

Whats arrogant about asking you to fix errors YOU made?

If you simply cant deal with people requesting changes, this isnt the site for you. No-one is judging you, its simply the way the site works. Your first mistake is taking votes and requests to make changes personally.

I came across these a few days ago, can't remember what my conclusion was? Discogs states that a valid release is one that has been made available to the public. Although I'm not sure how that takes care of Promo releases that are usually only made available to a given list of people. That 'list of people' could also equate to 'friends.' IMHO I think any release you have in you collection should be valid for the database.
