I just hope discogs figured out how to prevent this from happening again. The voting system sucks, anyway. Plus not many people know about the 80% rule (I didn't know the exact number before this). So now Folsom needs at least 8 more "No" votes to get out of this.
Cheers.
Discogs needs a lot of work, from the database to the marketplace. I wish they would actively update and tweak the site
- The voting system
- The free editing system and no abuse controls
- Marketplace: adding multiple to sell, stuck in the design of a user selling one of something. Should let you add one listing and have multiple for sale without adding 43 listings like some sellers do. (like Ebay)
- Marketplace: Control over how many of one item someone can buy.
- Marketplace: Overhaul shipping options so I don't have to do tricks to offer different shipping levels. Their recent shipping update seemed to solve a problem only some people had and didnt go far enough to standardize it.
- Marketplace: Do away with Paypal like Ebay is doing. Bring payments in house so I don't owe discogs money once a month. They spend the month sending me payments daily for people who dont use paypal and then i have to send them money for Tax and fees on the 20th.
- Marketplace: Overhaul or get rid of Discogs shipping, what an abomination.. and the domestic prices are higher than everyone else.
- Multiple app updates: Searchable inventory, manual resync or more robust sync so you don't have to manually re-sync, etc
- Throw out the community forum section. Its so basic that its annoying to even use.
I'm sure I'm missing a bunch. For most of these I've had to figure out a work around, which I have mentioned here like; adding more than one item with the app, using a third party shipper that integrated with Discogs (Pirateship), or moving 15% of my paypal to a discogs "payback" account.
It would still be nice to see the site evolve a little faster.
