Weird PM recieved at anidb

[Doqnach]

> You are receiving this pm, because you got the following file in your mylist:
>
> http://anidb.info/f32292
>
> This file is a so called "lame file" - a file without an ed2k-hash. Ed2k-hashes are important for anidb as they are the mainidentifiers. for further info see: http://www.anidb.net/wiki/index.php?tit ... :Ed2k-hash
>
> We ask you to please hash that file and add the ed2k-hash.
>
> Take note in case no one is adding the ed2khash after 1,2 months we are gonna merge all lame files with generic files.
>
> If people don`t care about the correctness of their data, they may as well use generic files. Using lame files as placeholder is for sure not a good idea.
>
> Thanks in advance.

I got this PM...

I must say I find the content rather rude.
it's almost like I am accused of adding a file without hash...
the files I had, had hashes which werent in Anidb, and i have no idea how to add hashes and stuff either.
shouldn't the user who submitted the file held responsible instead of ALL of the users who happen have that file?

I couldn't find on the wiki how to add files either... only about adding files to your mylist, not the DB.

the hash for this file is:

ed2k://|file|Geneshaft.-.Ep.03.avi|114366464|CA71B38BE9ED09CAEC9A27AFF20A08B8|h=VPKM2WUVWR2Z5SVK5ATTBXEZ7CHWVPOP|/

at least, that is what I have.

might I suggest setting a bit nicer tone the next time such a PM is sent, and also to include a link to where you can add the ed2k for quick reference? might get you more support...

with kind regards,


Doqnach

no thats not being rude calling you an ass surely would be. realize i'm not a native english speaker so i dont include asskissing in my sentences, but rather keep it straightforward and simple.

you are a tard sir (yes you are allowed to interpret this as as me being rude to you) once you add the file to your mylist the same responsibility for the correct data goes for you as well. anidb is a userdriven database get that into your head.

I couldn't find on the wiki how to add files either... only about adding files to your mylist, not the DB.

BUT that shouldn't even matter to you as you were asked to EDIT not ADD the file.

the link WAS added friggin hell. you just had to actually click "request edit".

actually no. like said you were asked to edit the lame file not add a new one.

i merged it with the old file to fix this issue
you could have asked a mod or someone else in #anidb for assistance.
