Jugdish: Things only cancel once/hour, give it an hour or so.
Jugdish
it just went from "To be cancelled" to "Cancelled"
shouldn't "Cancelled" mean it's gone?
BrianFreud
ummm, yeah...
FauxFaux
Dunno, I've only heard people say that line above, no idea what it means.
BrianFreud
and it isn't...
drsaunde
no i've seen labels that have been cancelled and/or voted down that stayed in the system
i thought it was a known bug
Jugdish
usually it's when there's something listed under them though
labels are like a weed! once you make them you can't get rid of 'em!
drsaunde
nope....blank ones like that
best way to get rid of them is to merge it into another one :-)
Jugdish
k
cooperaa
modbot doesn't like removing labels?
BrianFreud
faux: any chance of a listing of empty labels needing merging?
FauxFaux
Empty labels, could be fun.
BrianFreud
If that's true, I know I've prob made a few
dalen has quit
FauxFaux
I was going to go to sleep and be early for work, but nooo. :p
Jugdish smells a new report
BrianFreud
drsaunde: doesn't really matter what label we merge them to, does it?
or do bad aliases get created?
cooperaa
Jugdish: approve vote option script? ;)
Jugdish
no i was referring to a new report for empty labels
cooperaa
I know
Jugdish
pshaw!
cooperaa
:)
FauxFaux
The way I was thinking of writing the report turns up an empty result set.
cooperaa
it's okay, I'm in no hurry to help reduce everyone else's workload by shortening the open edit queue
;)
FauxFaux
That's labels that don't have a release event against them, what definition would you use?
Jugdish
so what's the point of even voting on "Add Label" edits? they're going to stay around no matter what
BrianFreud
good question
FauxFaux
There are no labels that don't have release events, Jugdish.#
Jugdish
i don't believe it
BrianFreud
not true
the label that cancelled edit created has nadda
FauxFaux
Either that, or I fail at database.
BrianFreud checks the one he cancelled earlier today
Jugdish
heh
fauxfaux: can you do a search for release events with amazon ASINs as cat #'s?
i've been seeing an increasing amount of those
FauxFaux
Mm, yep. /me queues.
drsaunde
brian: The only reason I said merge into another is because the cancelled and voted down ones I found were done so because they were duplicates...so it was a simple solution to merge laker
*later
BrianFreud
hmmm, this is odd
cooperaa leaves to read and write an essay
I cancelled the label add, as I screwed up the sortname (bad copy/paste).
BrianFreud wonders, with all the various easy things we see that are wrong, is the terminology just so confusing for newbies somehow?
Jugdish
i don't think the fault is with our terminology
FauxFaux
Better formatting, refresh.
Jugdish
i think it occurs from looking at album covers, not sure where the cat # is, seeing some number "LC0000" and assuming it must be it
drsaunde
it's called empty spot syndrome
Jugdish
or the ASINs reported as cat #'s on crappy websites
BrianFreud
I had a label owner who is entering his own stuff today ask me if he really had to go dredge up the date of the release parties just so he could add release events
drsaunde
people like to fill all fields whether or not they have info for them or not
