Title: People adding games already on the database
Post by: 64BitJoker on July 18, 2015, 08:46:48 pm

I noticed some people are adding games that are already on the database.

A few examples:

http://vgcollect.com/item/86782

http://vgcollect.com/item/86781

http://vgcollect.com/item/86681

http://vgcollect.com/item/86688

I don't see any option to report these items.

They are all uploaded by the same person, and there's probably alot more of him/her.

Is there no way to explain this person that he/she has to try and be sure these games are not on the list yet before adding them?

One from another user, 4 people already have this in their collection...

The name is not correct either "Petz Dogs 2"

The real title is "Petz Dogz 2" which can be found here http://vgcollect.com/item/85928

Thank you for reporting these duplicates, I have taken care of them.

In the future, like badatchaos said, submit the entries to the official Duplicate Listing Thread.

Ok.

The biggest problem about this is that other users already added these duplicates to their list, so when they get removed they will be missing this game in their collection without them knowing it.

No, admin will move it to the proper list. Don't worry :)

When we remove a duplicate entry anybody who has the game in their collection, wish list, or sell list gets transferred to the correct entry.
