uCommodore Scene Database FAQ
http://noname.c64.org/csdb/
Where do you get your info?
This is a 100% user based database.
We get all the info we catalog from
users who, as we, see the importance of
preserving as much info as
possible on everything concerning the
C64 Scene
Who's responsible for this?
We cannot take responsibility for the
content of this database as all info is
submitted by users. But if you find
something you have a problem with in
the database just let us know & we will
take a look at it
Can I help?
Yes! You can help this database grow by
contributing info about yourself, your
group, group's releases, parties you've
been to, etc
I want to add some info. How do I do
that?
To add info you first of all need a
CSDb account. If you don't already have
one, get one here. Then you need to log
in, & from your personal userpage you
can add info
Why do I need to register?
Because of the amount of info we get
into CSDb there is no way that we can
actually check if the info is correct.
Therefore we have to log who enters
what into the database in order to spot
& kick people who are filling crap into
CSDb.
I don't want to register. How can I add
info?
You can't!! You can try to ask some of
the people who are already registered
to do it for you
We however recommend that you register
no matter what. We only need your
E-mail & we will NOT abuse it.
I forgot my password to CSDb. What can
I do? Click here & enter the E-mail you
used when signing up for CSDb. Your
password will then be mailed to you
Who gave you permission to include me
in your stinkin database!? Info about
who was/is a part of the scene is
considered public info, so you might
find yourself here if you have had any
relation to the scene
However, personal info like real name,
address, phone, E-mail, photo, etc is
of course strictly personal & you are
of course entitled to remove any such,
or contact the CSDb admins & we'll deal
with it
I found some wrong/missing info in the
database, what to do?
To update info you need a CSDb account.
When you are logged in with your
account you can change info by clicking
the Update button at the bottom of
every group/scener/release/event page
What is this maintainer/'locked record'
all about?
Anyone can maintain a record in CSDb.
This means that only they can edit the
info for that record
If you want to change info in a locked
record you should contact the maint-
ainers of that record (send them a CSDb
private message, or email them), & ask
them to correct the info, or add you as
a maintainer for that record. If they
don't answer, or reject your request
you can contact the CSDb admins & we'll
look into it, but only then
Please note that you should only set
yourself as a maintainer of records
that are somehow related to you, your
scener record, your group record(s),
releases you are credited in etc)
And only if you really don't want
others to add or update info in those
records. You should also note that when
you are maintaining a record, you have
the responsibility to make sure that
the info is correct & complete
Someone deleted an entry. What can I
do?
If you find an entry in CSDb missing,
which you know should be there, & think
this is a mistake - or if you by
accident deletes something yourself,
you can contact the admin
We keep backups of all deletions, & can
restore records that are deleted. There
are some people that dont want their
scener-record to be in CSDb, or perhaps
their releases, so if this is the case
we will not restore the entry
I see people posting active links in
CSDb, but <a href dosn't work? All
html-tags are filtered in CSDb which
means that you can not write html-codes
& expect them to be parsed. However if
you write an url (starting with http://
or ftp://) CSDb will automatically
convert this into a link
There are also special CSDb-tags which
you can use to refer to records within
CSDb. Read more about it in the Usage
of CSDb section
