So I maye have submitted something, it didn't got trough (maybe a mistake in the name, the boxart, whatever...) and I wouldn't know. I would think that item is forever on my list and I can "forget" about it, but it isn't..?
Anyone else has any info on this?
Again, it's just to be sure I know my collection is complete, I love the website and the work you guys do
I think you're misunderstanding piffle- let me try and clarify:
If you post a new listing that has something in it that prevents it from being accepted, you'll get an error message. Otherwise, it will be added- no matter how bad the listing is. All that gets checked when a new item is submitted is if the minimum info is present (which would be item name & category), and if any additional info is formatted right (like not uploading a .txt file for a photo). The quality of the submitted information is not checked- you wanna add Zelda on the Sega Genesis with a picture of Crash Bandicoot? You can, as long as you fill out the form right.
What you will not be informed of, is if your listing is deleted or merged. Obviously, Genesis Zelda/Bandicoot would be deleted. You would not be told, it'd just be gone. I believe listings identifies as duplicate are indeed merged- but you wouldn't be told about that either. Also, since we're all human, a 'duplicate' listing might not actually be a duplicate, just a poorly described variant- and you could find yourself merged into the wrong listing.
I reccomend going over your collection once every couple months & making sure things are good. Doesn't have to be too detailed, just count up games for a specific system & make sure the numbers match. Maybe check the drop-down menu for odd regions -the one time I think I had a bad merge, it was over a regional difference. Could've been a mistake on my part though.
