Video info more restricted over time
Hey,
Since there seems to be a rash of people flipping out and trying to blank out their past by overwriting their video entry information, the video description field now becomes append-only whenever the video entry becomes limited (meaning when you can’t change the anime and music information). This is (hopefully) a temporary fix while we find a better method of preventing people from trying to destroy database information.
In the mean time, we have been recovering information by using the web site www.archive.org which takes periodic snapshots of the internet. You can check out the snapshots they have of the Org to see what the site was like way back when.
I hope this helps. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Phade.

This is common? I thought it was just an isolated incident (with an editor who happens to fairly well-known).Phade wrote:Since there seems to be a rash of people flipping out and trying to blank out their past by overwriting their video entry information,...

SuperFusion, that's the entire point of this site. Data on every AMV that ever existed. Does it need to be pointed out the the admins on this site (excluding derobert
) have a life?

Well, this is the internet, if you hadn't noticed. Would you rather the admins 'asl' and 'lol' everyone they see?
