| | Posted: | | | | I'm not sure if merging would be a good idea.
Simply because most of these profiles with incorrect localities are lost profiles and in most cases there would be a better profile already existing in the correct locality. These better profiles might be destroyed (or at least incorrectly altered) by a simple merge.
Probably the better idea would be the ability to delete profiles from the database for a selected group of users. This might work in combination with a "Report to Invelos"-button, or in cases like yours with simply designating this job to people who care. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | My imipression is that Moses merely used the Ordered tab to collect all profiles he could find with a wrong locality.
I'm not fond of the idea to allow users to remove profiles from the database, because I don't know where that will end (who is to verify that it's being done for the right reasons?). I would however support a way to submit such profiles directly to the screeners for immediate removal. | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |

It's not hard, usually, to figure out whether a UPC is fictional or not. Any made up UPCs should be removed. We probably still have some VHS and Laserdisc titles in the system as well.

| | Posted: | | | | Judging by a quick look at Moses' ordered list, most of these profiles don't have a made-up UPC, but belong to a different European locality (saw some with overviews in German, Danish etc.). Could be that these profiles date back to the very earliest days of DVDP, when there were just regions and no localities (at least that's what I read on these forums at some point - it's before my time here). Am I correct in thinking that when localities were introduced, all existing R2 profiles got UK for locality? That could be your explanation right there. | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |
