Might be just me but notifications don't seem to be working.

At least, I had a notification (group) enabled for Madlax for when ANBU-Lunar released it. I was planning to add it but when I went to the Madlax page, it was already added but I'm pretty sure I never received any notifications.

It looks permament vote is available only for few titles, which have already set ending date. 99% (maybe less, but ive checked mylist and find very few with this field) of titles has this date not set and are not available to perm. voting (i've just tried to set vote for 2 older titles, i watched yesterday - impossible). It too restrictive now. For new titles it is fine, but for older titles it will be very hard to find proper ending date. And for titles, which consist of only one episode permament vote should be available by default.

'perm. voting for an anime is now only possible if an end date has been added for the anime'
mean it 'perm. voting is posisible if end date is set AND is already reached', or only 'enough if end date is set, even if it is far in future'?

[wahaha]

I'll go through the list today and add as many as possible, so that it hopefully won't be too much of a bother for most titles.

EDIT: Didn't come further than 1-167 today, with 6 titles still missing the dates since I couldn't find them

Playing around with the test anime, it looks like the range for "end date" allows something along the lines of "today + 2 years". As you can see, though, permanent voting is blocked until "today == last aired".

There is still problem with older titles. i've started updating titles from mylist and after few successfull found ending dates (ANN is best source for it) i've stayed with AIKA and Angel Cop - no airing/releasing dates found, but those are ended long ago. Maybe change rule into this:

Code: Select all

  if 'end date is set' then
    if 'end date' <=today then
      allow perm. voting
    else
      deny perm. voting
    end if
  else 
    if 'release starting year' > 'current year' or ('release ending year' != null and 'release ending year' > 'current year') then
      deny perm. voting
    else
    if 'release starting year' = 'current year' or ('release ending year' != null and 'release ending year' = 'current year') then
      if 'number of episodes with files for this title'>='Episodes' then
        allow perm. voting
      else
        deny perm. voting
      end if
    else
      allow perm. voting
    endif
   end if

Maybe some "magic" date meaning "it ended for sure, but nobody can remember when" would work?

So this is right?

[exp]

You can, as the dates are all listed here: http://member.nifty.ne.jp/teraji/ova/ova_l12.htm (and now on AniDB aswell )

For regular OVAs, TV animes and movies, it really isn't that much of a problem to find out the rel/air-dates. So far, I've looked at the anime-IDs 1 through 209, and the titles I couldn't find the rel/air-dates for were:

Robotech, Macross Saga: http://anidb.ath.cx/perl-bin/animedb.pl ... ime&aid=57
Robotech Masters: http://anidb.ath.cx/perl-bin/animedb.pl ... me&aid=152
Robotech New Generation: http://anidb.ath.cx/perl-bin/animedb.pl ... me&aid=182

... as Robotech is the cut version, so you won't find many fanpages that go as far as listing the TV air dates

Ajimu Kaigan Monogatari: http://anidb.ath.cx/perl-bin/animedb.pl ... me&aid=118
URDA: http://anidb.ath.cx/perl-bin/animedb.pl ... me&aid=122
Psychic Academy: http://anidb.ath.cx/perl-bin/animedb.pl ... me&aid=157

Animes first released through the web - and so far I couldn't find out when the streams were first available.

Mystery of Necronomicon: http://anidb.ath.cx/perl-bin/animedb.pl ... me&aid=159
Cool Devices: http://anidb.ath.cx/perl-bin/animedb.pl ... me&aid=188
(possibly at http://www.net-broadway.com/cool.html)

Im still unsure whether Cool Devices is an anime of its own - or not rather a compilation of different animes with different rel-dates. As for Necronomicon, I guess I simply didn't look hard enough.

So, that being said, I agree that it's mainly a matter of time; but there are some cases which can most likely not be solved without having the special "it ended" date rowaasr13 suggested.

I plan to wait a couple of weeks and then check how many old animes are still missing the ending date.
Depending on the numbers we can think about a solution by then.
Such an "it ended but we don't know when" option would probably only be available to mods though.
