People abstain on 'add crappy entry' mods , but somehow vote no on a mod that is very easy to fix.
I don't get it

There's only so many "fix crappy entries" mods I'll do per day personally
It especially becomes quite frustrating when you see the same person importing crap continuously, without heeding to the style guide pointers I give in modnotes :/

juhae: that's why gawd created bourbon (and scotch)

I think the reason many people will automatically vote no on such mods is due to the frustration of seeing people just not making the effort. I have to restrain myself from giving an automatic no to anything that doesn't have the release type defined personally.
yllona
or a date, or a language. those things are so easy to check
PRAEst76
I think some mods need to take time off MB when they start to feel themselves getting too jaded. We don't want Musicbrainz turning into discogs.
juhae
I've never used discogs, what do you mean?
yllona
i dont use discogs
juhae
Btw, do we already have the "pig latin" language? :)

Dunno, but I've always belived it needed taken out and shot
zout
PRAEst76: I've recently started to vote no on releases that no not have a release type
of course, also pointing that out in a note
PRAEst76
I get fed up with it. I just want them to correct their errors but an amazing amount of people just don't seem to care. Once they've got their mp3s tagged they no longer have a use or any interest in MB until their next load of mp3s need tagged.
zout
yes, I feel the same
at one end, I'm fixing/correcting discographies for artists I care about
juhae
Same here, although I make mistakes every now and then - but I respect when someone points it out to me :)
yllona
well i would agree that there are alot of "junk" entries
zout
and one the other end 10 times as much bad entries get added
so I'd rather first have better entries
yllona
the site is doggin what's up?
zout
so that we later can focus on new stuff
ruaok
yllona: two things, one its time for nightly maintanance and two we've gotten mentioned in digg comments and in a couple of other places.
tons and tons of new visitors
juhae
The freedb imports could use a note about double-checking for correct style and capitalization and proof-reading the track names
yllona
ah okay...
juhae
In huge letters :P
ruaok
I hope to move to a new colo and purchase two new machines soon.
yllona
oooh!
ruaok
so the main machines can be available for people who moderate.
then two machines for people who tag.
so that the tagging people no longer drag down the main server.
but until then.... :-(
tru
where are the machines hosted now? somewhere in the states I guess?
zout
ruaok: can you set the correct time on my machine?

yllona bitch slaps any and every hip-hop artist for re-using names

I'm thinking of checking some russian artists when I have nothing else to do, is there a way to list all artists that have names in cyrillic or at least one album with language set to russian?
g0llum
guess you can use the advanced moderation search
rowaasr13
Yes, I use it right now but it's major PITA to fetch artists from those results.
ruaok
zout: done. I installed a daemon to automatically keep it up to date
nechto13
somebody tell me I don't have to do this: i have a track where one guy sings vocals and there are three more guys that repeat the couplet in the background. please tell me I don't have to add three more artists
zout
thanks
BTW: can you turn off all those mails I receive on that machine? check out the mailbox for my username... (feel free to read them)
ruaok
np
yllona
nechto13: yes, you do. thus my rant about "sets" of artists that you can apply across tracks
ruaok
zout: as root or as you
?
zout
as me
maybe because I installed the machine once?
nechto13
nobody knows them, they are losers.
zout
I don't use root account
ruaok
likely
nechto13
no one has heard of them ok
ah fuck it
ruaok
zout: I stopped forwarding mail from root to you. that should stop it
aimaz
morning all

hello
i have a question about the tagger is anyone able to help?
rowaasr13
What question?
spartigiss
i am searching the faq's
i am running the tagger
when i go to save the new file and tags it says
"can not remove existing file access denied"
maybe because the when i look at the properties of the mp3/folder its read-only?
rowaasr13
Are your files by any chance read-only?
Sure.
spartigiss
hehe ok i am a id10t
thanks man

amazing
i hope it works well
i love the idea behind it
