SimFileDB Suggestion.

[irishknight]

Hey FFR users, I'm not sure if this has been suggested yet, but I must point it out:
Basically, I haven't seen an edit option for the SimFileDB thing.
About the SimFileDB of FFR, there should be an "Edit" area of the simfile to at least delete comments that you wouldn't want posted in your simfile.. (Just like in the FFR profiles).
(i.e. double/triple posts, spam maybe, or just bad comments about it that you wouldn't want other users to read).

Also, instead of just deleting the simfile to upload a better sync of it.. why not just edit(replace) it with the newer/better version of it. The same goes with adding/subtracting on to your description, difficulty, or the change in BPM. Or if there were any mistakes in the Title/Author (Like in my case).
[By not deleting a simfile in the DB it won't mess up the number of simfile's there are. I've noticed by deleting one simfile, the numbers above stay in their original positions]
(i.e. )

- I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing, but the number of simfile's AVAILABLE should at least be accurate. I'm not trying to say that the admins should waste their time making sure the numbers are correct, but with the "edit" option will most likely lessen the deletions of other simfiles just to post the same one, but with a different step chart, etc.

Thanks for reading..

*EDIT*
Please leave a post or comment of what you think..

Bumping this due to a link from another recent post, so it should be fine. (See here: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...98#post2198998)

That would be nice. Losing the simfile comments and gameplay stats is annoying. However, people's opinions may be changed after the simfile has been edited. Additionally, if more/less steps are present, then the overall possible score would also change.

I think ups for the idea and the bump. =)

For some reason, I failed to see this thread on May 13th.

EDIT: Sigd.

I think this is a good suggestion. I'm surprised there wasn't any comments on this before today.

Same here. I also think the admins should improve Resonance so we can play any simfile just as well as Stepmania before downloading it. Too bad that won't happen.

This would be a great idea. I failed to see this thread, but I hate deleting my old sim, therefore losing all of my comments/ratings/# of DLs. Same with the description and simple mistakes I usually make with it.

This suggestion certainly gets my approval. On top of everything else posted, editing a simfile is much easier then deleting it, and then going through the uploading process again.

What a great bump. Definitely support for this great suggestion.

That's because you weren't here before September 2007.

Thanks for bumping this thread, guys. Last year, I was shocked that no one had really given a glance or their opinion on something useful as this.

As I see it, instead of double posting your revised simfile, might as well edit it.

EDIT: I don't feel like editing the first post since it's so ancient, but I know very well myself that you can delete comments in the DB now. Just a little disclaimer.

Oh, but ap19 could have posted. =) (Though I didn't really like forums until I joined Xx{Midday}xX)

Edit info/Reupload simfile features would be nice.
