I can't speak to your experience, and I'm sorry you had a bad one, but just to clarify for anyone who is not familiar with the site, the review and voting on the data submissions is done by other users.
Perhaps you ran into someone who was particularly passionate about that artist, or having a particularly bad day, but I'd be surprised if it was any of the site's developers.
(PS: If a submission does not get any negative feedback, it gets auto-accepted after some time in the queue. If it gets negative feedback, it will be rejected, and the author can modify and resubmit it.)
- m0llusk 2y agoWow, a bunch of neg votes because I tried to summarize my experience. I should just hide instead? Sure, I may have misunderstood that part. So not a dev. Which means we have what? Get excited about a web site that implements a cool idea. Read the instructions carefully. Submit what appears to be correct and relevant information. Receive a stream of psycho rage emails from various people over a period of months. Sorry I didn't understand something about the input process or how to correctly respond to the rage emails. My central point of being careful interacting with contributed data sites stands. Most people do not go into such things expecting the result might be a great deal of rage mail with no clear way to respond. Neg me some more and see if that fixes things.
- aeontech 2y agoFWIW, I didn't downvote you, and I don't doubt it was a bad experience. Your general point is absolutely valid, and actually pretty much reflects why I stopped contributing to Wikipedia and StackOverflow, personally.
