most of my submissions are not my submissions, but edited from other users that didnt add all the info needed
A few questions.
I went afk for 3 days and had 200 submitions to take care, so go easy on me, you don't see more staff helping me on that matter xD
Imagine wasting 60 seconds in each one, would take me 3 hours to complete, so it's not a one man army as i don't get paid xD
i can't be afk for a little that you guys shot each others xD
1 - So those people you are talking about about got their own permissions submiting accurated transfers, and in a case of someone from the staff missing at least we have a certain level of update.
2 - Of course there is not only 2 options, but it is what we can work into, it is as viable as other one, if they have errors? Of course they have, but for some reason we've been fixed it. Most of the issues occur in lower leagues in England but you have some local newspapers, bbc, skysports or other sources to see also. You can't expect to check easily a 3rd division player from Belize.
And if you provided a different source than submitted from other user, i usually change it everytime i see it.
A few questions.
Why can't you approve each others submissions? Surely you appreciate the level of due diligence is significantly reduced when people approve their own submissions. People should be more vigilant with each other's submissions. The approval process is pointless as it stands, why have it if you can approve your own?!
Why do you expect one or two website to detail every transfer? Why don't you use footballdatabase.eu/transfermarkt as a guide? There's no websites which exist with every transfer accurately detailed, that's unrealistic and none of you should expect it, this is part of the increasing culture of laziness I allude to. There's no need when you can google the player's name and 'new club' and find greater detail. Takes seconds most of the time (I know because I've spent a month working on my own database) Some might take a couple of minutes but I would question the effectiveness of the search terms if it's taking longer. If the transfer is hard to find then that should raise questions itself. Whilst if it reduces the block of submissions someone submits and approves then I don't view that as a bad thing as I highly suspect the longer the lists submitted by one person the longer the number of errors. It might mean things get added a day or so later but again that's not a bad thing if the accuracy is improved.
It's not like there are only two options, what you suggest above or reliance on footballdatabase.eu, there's other options which you either ignore or dismiss! These updates used to be much better when they worked closer to how I detail above so you/they have shown in the past that things can be better without expecting 1/2 websites for everything.
Everything seems to be geared corner cutting these days.
Thanks
Why is the same person approving their own submissions? There's no accountability, no wonder there's so many mistakes these days. Poor sources and poor processes.
if you have some websites that post really approved and accurate feel free to share xD
at this moment both websites that you said are like 70% of our Data Update and i have a question for you:
do you prefer to have (for example) 80% of the Transfers Updated and have to fix the others 20% or otherwise?
in my opinion i would prefer the 1st one, we are a community here, if you have any more sources than the ones we are using just feel free to comment and i'll fix it as soon as i see it.
and we are welcome to criticism, but at least for me i'm doing the best i can.
Take the criticism constructively rather than like a child (if you actually matter, you're probably a non-bod like me) If they publicly provide downloads then they must be open to criticism as they effect other people's games! I don't cry when people offer constructive criticism of the downloads I provide publicly (I make skins) In fact I expect it, I welcome it. I can just as easily say if they don't like my criticisms then they shouldn't make it accessible to the public but then I'm not a child. I want them to improve what they're doing. If you've got nothing constructive to say don't bother.
Anyway please, please, please only use transfermarkt, footballdatabase and even soccerway sometimes as guides only (to all of you)
