Would an Edit feature for Pouet be a good idea or not?

category: general [glöplog]
 

I think someone my have asked it before..

Mistakes happen several times, I added at least two 256b intros twice, other intros may have wrong screenshot, info, date, e.t.c.. or added in another category.. or someone wants to edit some infos in there. An Edit feature would be nice, but how good could it be this? Does it depend on how users use it? Could someone change with another screenshot that things it's better (He could put an animated Gif or something to give a more wide idea about the demo) Or changing a prod with final version? Is it good and applicable to add something like this in Pouet?!

Or perhaps a feature, button saying "Click me here to report mistakes on this product" or something... I would be bored to open a box and mail analogue,. a more automatic thing at the time I am seeing the prod in pouet would be better..

What do you think? How to correct all these mistakes done in pouet easilly and fast?

The most rational way is probably this:
The user who added a prod should have a login-ability to the prod, and should be able to alter the data. This way if something's wrong, i should msg the user, not Analogue, so he'll have some more spare time.

Easy as pie :)

Obviously same goes for groups.

IMHO : only special admins will be authorized to modify prods sheets
these admins can be the top ten for example, to have select demoaddict people

why ? because lots of time mistakes are done by some sceners which come only one time per month to add their own prods or other, and waiting for their modifications can be long and unuseful
because some sceners have 2 pouet id, loose their password or other thing wich made their id unusable and modification by creator id impossible

and yes, a modification power will be a good thing
we must just email Analogue for obsolete prods's deleting
and for the rest we can do the job by ourselves, to clean the database

the 'clic to modify' option can be good, and results can be sended to a special page avaiable for admins only (like mini forum)
when admins have time, they can do the modification and kill the task in to-do list

modification of screenshot can be hard, because it's sometime the reflection of the best representative thing we see in a prod when we submit it, and how to act with the glöps ? Just add screenshots where it is not done, it's a huge work to do.
not

i think the more or less that the members of the particular group should have the right to change the mistakes that have been done by others.
modify feature definitelly needed.

How about top ten glöppers or something *and* whoever uploaded the prod?

Well, everyone here is right for the mo...

Simply let it be that way:
- the adder has the chance to modify things afterwards

(as a group is specified all the time as well...)
- the members registered at pouet of that group also have the chance to edit the prod...

(and as mistakes might happen or people are coming back only every few weeks...)
- some pre-defined and fix group of admins (top 10!? or whoever is willing...) should be able to edit a prod if they see serious mistakes there...

Wouldn't be a problem at all to specify such a thing like that!
And YES...such a edit feature would be PERFECT for poeut! I also saw several 'mistakes' at several prods here..and would have wished to be able to correct it then... ;-)

yeah, wiki would be cool.
i think that anyone should be able to edit away he mistakes they see..

wiki is a crap tool. bscw or the likes are better for these kind of cases.
nonono. keep it simple rasmus, bscw appears to have obsolete concepts like users.
