ruaok: yes, sorry, it was probably uncalled for. I realise the potentially several thousand non-musicians to the DB could cause problems with the monitoring and misuse of them. However, it was frustrating to suddently get a 'no it is not being done' when I was actually doing some investigation into how the scope of those non-musicians can be limited and formulating possible solutions to...
...prevent misuse of them. Obviously, allowing unlimited levels of family tree is impossible and I believe with some thought, plus a little code tweeking this can be prevented, whilst still allowing them to be added where there is a direct relationship.

'tis ok, inhouseuk... we're two days into a new regime, so we're having to adjust.
yalaforge grins
the problem I see is that if we don't restrict it in any way, we can basically keep track of the geneology for all of human kind, which is certainly not the aim of this project.
chocomo
GeneBrainz?

chocomo plays The Radio Said Rock 'n' Roll Is Dead - Rose Tattoo (Angry Metal)
ruaok
this is just one of many gut-wrenching decisions I will soon be facing.
alas. sometimes it'd be nice to drop the benevolent part of my title. >:-)
ruaok is a dumbass, just for the record
yalaforge
hail to the king ;-)
ruaok
you mean, hail to the dumbass ?
yalaforge grins and refuses to answer
nikki_
have you asked your ass about its opinion on being called dumb?
yalaforge
how can you ask such questions!
chocomo falls down laughing
inhouseuk
ruaok: agreed! But it should be fairly easy to lock down, by restricting what can be done with a non-musician artist and ensuring when one is added it has a direct relationship to a musician. non-musician to non-musician relationships obviously need to be prevented (except in certain conditions where they both have a relationship with the same musician)
yalaforge: ?? all i asked is did we go backwards... cuz guess case functinos that I believed to be fixed don't work now, add entry issues that I thought were fixed are not now
Shepard
i don't even know if AmazonMatching is still in place
chocomo
I'll do it
ruaok
automatic amazon matching hasn't been running in weeks.
yalaforge
nikki_: nice!
ruaok
thanks chocomo
chocomo
but you'll have to tell me spezifically where to put it later
ruaok
teleGUISE: for the record, no we didn't go backwards.
chocomo: mail it to me.
chocomo
righto!
Shepard
ruaok: but the delete bot is running again, right?
yalaforge
ruaok: was there a server change for the ASIN stuff? if yes, I'll look at it and help mo
Shepard
yalaforge: yes
teleGUISE
ruaok: care to briefly clarify... :)? is it my imagination or did things that worked don't now?
yalaforge
Shepard: ok
LTjake has quit
ruaok
nikki_: that is cool -- we need to add that to the trivia page and officially check that page in...
Shepard: delete artists? yes.
teleGUISE: I don't know. We didn't intentionally break things just for you, if that is what you're asking.
Shepard
i would like to see that other trivia page you made again. with the newest releases and stuff
I thought we did ;)
ruaok
if something isn't working now, that usd to work. its.... a bug. Please file a bug report.
well maybe it was my imagination or playing on test servers too much.. specifically there are g0llum case issues that I thought were corrected... (ie.. one simply being the added "." periodleft when Vol., expands to Volume.)
