Well to coin a frase "you gotta start somewhere"
And i for one would love to get started on the G1 section
i would like to have that checklist/wishlist done even if we dont have a single pic in the base yet we can allways run in there and add the pics
In later but wrighting in the names will help out when we start showing off our collection sigs it would look alot better than showing G1 only have 5 entrys and peple can show up start taging there collection and seeing we need a pic of Astrotrain in box add one for us
which brings be to one other issue what starts to happen if 4 diffrant ppl turn in pics of Astrotrain lose?? who gets to deside on witch one to use? You by your self?? a commity?? or what if you pick one and someone comes by later on with a much better pic?
More good questions. Currently, the system will only accept one entry of a particular name per category. So, if someone adds an entry for Astrotrain in the "triplechangers" category, then no one else will be able to add a new entry for Astrotrain to that category.
When a new item has been added, it is flagged as "pending" until an admin gets a chance to have a look at it (and can verify it's not full of spambot data or other nonsense). Pending items are visible to the user that entered it, but no one else. Currently I'm the only admin, but omce things stabilize a bit more I'll be deputizing some of you hard-core types for admin duty.
The sticky part, which I mentioned in my last post, is that for now, only an admin can modify items once they've been approved (I think that you can still modify pending items). This will definitely change, but requires a hell of a lot of work on my part. Maybe I'll put that near the top of the list--sounds like we're gonna need it.
So, given all that, and the fact that the site is still in beta (and only has a handful of members), I still feel like our best approach is not rush anything--I mean at least wait until you've had a chance to see what ya think of the "add" form.
Tell ya what, let's set a goal of 10 or 20 G1 entries for today. You can enter them in with as much info as you like, or even just the name, so you'll get the submission credit, and I'll do my best to clean up after ya by adding photos and whatever other info I can find. So by the end of the day, we'll have a nice big addition to the database, but we won't be in over our heads. Sounds good?
