People abstain on 'add crappy entry' mods , but somehow vote no on a mod that is very easy to fix.

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 :/

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.

or a date, or a language. those things are so easy to check

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.

I've never used discogs, what do you mean?

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.
2005-12-01 33529, 2005

yes, I feel the same

at one end, I'm fixing/correcting discographies for artists I care about

Same here, although I make mistakes every now and then - but I respect when someone points it out to me :)

well i would agree that there are alot of "junk" entries
2005-12-01 33511, 2005

and one the other end 10 times as much bad entries get added
2005-12-01 33537, 2005

so I'd rather first have better entries

so the main machines can be available for people who moderate.
2005-12-01 33530, 2005

then two machines for people who tag.
2005-12-01 33539, 2005

so that the tagging people no longer drag down the main server.

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?

guess you can use the advanced moderation search

Yes, I use it right now but it's major PITA to fetch artists from those results.
