Not selling anymore
I only make edits to correct records or cassettes I released, or in some instances, Grateful Dead releases
First record I bought with my own money, in 1962

This sums up the typical forum user on Discogs these days
Tired of the hypocrites here who daily claim to be above the rule breakers and the obviously clueless.

This is Discogs - more and more a first degree site of imbecility.
Increasingly intolerant of idiots as the years go by - life's too short
One of the immediate results of this place becoming more and more snowflake friendly is that the database is going to shit.

The forums these days are populated by imbeciles and clowns who don't have a clue what they're talking about.
I miss the days when sensible comments and decisions were made by users who knew what they were doing.
There's still crime in the city,
Said the cop on the beat,
I don't know if I can stop it
I feel like meat on the street
They paint my car like a target
I take my orders from fools
Meanwhile some kid blows my head off
Well, I play by their rules
That's why I'm doin' it my way
I took the law in my hands
Leave stupid comments on my subs, be insulting in the forums, claim that entering incorrect data isn't incorrect or act generally stupid then I'll use the ignore function.
Don't ask (or tell) me about runouts. If you think they need changing, change them. I really couldn't care any less about the runout details. Where, with who and by who the recording was made is the important thing. Who gives a fuck who cut it? You? Edit as you see fit

It's not an Album/Single/EP if there's no proof

Columbia Stickered CBS - https://manattop.blogspot.com/2016/01/

EMI vs CBS

nik:- Unless it is part of the name of the artist, the extra text shouldn't be considered an artist name variation

One of nik's less wise decisions, artist credit for a company

Thousands of users have invested immense amounts of time building and organizing this database and deliberating over and crafting its policies across many, many years now. But you then charge in and decide that you know best, and you're just going to undo the work of others to suit your own preferences. You don't decide to start a community discussion about data categorization, sorting, display, etc., or to ask others here what historical factors have led to things displaying the way they do—you just take it upon yourself to start changing data en masse. [.....] You've essentially walked into a community's museum and started taking paintings down off the walls and putting them in other rooms because you think they look better there, or that all the bluish ones should be together, and everyone else be damned, because you're the only one whose opinion matters
