Most of us use discogs to catalog their collections, it's also a marketplace. I've got an idea to discuss Prodigy submissions here. I don't know if there are any moderators among us but any comment in submission is helpful. Sometimes it's just about confirming catalog number but sometimes the case is more complicated. Just recently Yaro, biggest Prodigy collector in Poland joined Discogs and started to make many submissions, some are clear (adding XL as second label) but some are discussed. So, to begin, Prodigy pending submissions (so You can browse):

And a case which interest me at most, top submission about chaning Prodigy description:

I hope I wrote my idea clear : )

I used to be a moderator but gave up on it.

Recently I'm getting into the disogs discussion about stamped promo isseus are supposed to be listed seperately to their commercial release or not. Since there's not much difference between 'm the mods seem to disagree a lot... Making me post stuff a gazzilion times over. Very frusty

Anybody has the same doubts about this submission as I do? Looks kinda unofficial to me...

Help me and Alekz fighint this prick.
He is saying that if 'maxi' is not written on release it's forbidded to write it.
I'm saying it's maxi issued under license of XL so should stay as maxi.

Discogs is so full of pricks, its doomed to go wrong. I gave up on that site long ago. Its based on good ideas from wikipedia and imdb, just carried out very poorly. Submissions takes up to months, constantly changing rules creates inconsistence, same inconsistence makes submissions take longer because they aply a new comma rule or capital letter rule, and the search function is a joke.

Yeah gave up on discogs too, submissions rejected, then find them appear later with same info I gave in first place.

Too bad, actually Prodigy & related are well cared by Alekz and few others. There are dozens of complete and correct subs, some which need to be completed with details and just few plain wrong.

I'm a Discogs Mod if your're nice and what your submitting seems ok with me i'll accept it , just dont bombard me, i'll take a look at the submissions you guys are talking about , i think discogs is a great site and been using it for many years , yes i know it has its issues but there isnt really anything else that is as complete

man there is 385 prodigy submissions this is gonna take a while , anyone else here a mod?

something i have comes across which has some confused as other people are saying otherwise , when it comes to promo releases you keep the credits so long as you know that the vocals or rapper etc are still present just add [Uncredited] to it so say you have a promo cd with Diesel Power if you can still hear Kool Keith you must add him so your sub would look like this

Diesel Power
Vocals [Uncredited] - Kool Keith

I used to be a moderator but I kinda gave up on it since I ran out of time to look at it properly.

Nowadays Discogs is really going downhill if you ask me. No personal issues or anything but I noticed several errors in contributing being approved as valid and the other way around. For instance Arie posted the What evil lurks testpress around 1,5 year ago. For some reason this is getting votes for changes while a promo version of this is allready approved. I don't really get this since there are no promo's of WEL (aslo EITP and Charly) just test pressings of 10 each. So I have to agree with Chaosu and ask the moderators who are on this if they really know what they're doing? I guess not, since they're just mindlessly applying rules without knowing anything about the releases they're commenting / voting on. Maybe they should listen more to the contributors who actually own these items (I also noticed a lot of releases contributed by users who don't own certain items, (I thought this was rule number 1.) how can u possibly think these contributions are accurate?

They should convert it to a real wiki....

....and screw silly shit like "capitalization" rules which just makes submissions take months longer.


Plus a search function that isnt retarded would still be nice

Agreed and LOL
