Discogs - Help, Tricks, Secrets And Tips

Has anyone figured out how to keep the Discogs app from automatically logging out on a daily basis? I'm growing tired of entering my sign in credentials, then the captcha, then the one time pin, every single day.

It's incredibly annoying.
 
What is it with random dickheads going into the comments and pointing out input errors and quoting rules, with the recall and lack of comprehension of a cop, without actually fixing them?

It is why I will usually wait for someone else to enter something. My accuracy score whatever is shit and I’m like one mistake away from not being allowed to submit. And it’s not like I’ve ever entered anything in wrong (maybe the correct way to do track numbers). I’ve just left stuff out or I got yelled at once for putting the hype stick What’s baffling to me is the amount of but this rule says this and then someone else is like this rule says this. Then some knucklehead comes along and makes the listing for the variant you have something completely different.

I've never even thought to look at my stats. At least since going back to making entries. I probably paid attention to them back around '07 when I was doing FLAC and mp3 entries for digital-only Electronic releases...

My biggest thing is not having votes on a lot of the things I've put up. Looks like I have 68 pending...

I know I don't have voting power and don't really know what and how to specifically get it. I don't really engage with the forums at all, I just create things as I need them for my own collection and try to be as thorough and correct as I can be. I've definitely had people make small adjustments to some of the listings I've created, but I don't believe I've had much in the way of egregious errors, save one accidental duplicate and one typo that shifted a release date by a decade, but both easily corrected.

Initially, I'd often be quick to rush and create a new listing, but now I usually give it a bit of time to a) see if somebody creates it before me and/or b) make sure I'm not pressed for time when creating the entry. I generally enjoy doing it though. It's the kinda shit that makes my brain happy.

I am the opposite. I will enter a basic entry knowing that the pedantic and fastidious will add or correct information as necessary.

It’s the rules police that I hate. Like Rule 275926.384027 sub section 2892743 states that in a scenario you put the credits in credits tab 492836…. blah blah blah blah blah…. And in z scenario you put the credits in credits tab 83296329…. blah blah blah… and remember photos in pink come before photos in dayglo yellow…. blah blah blah.

In my head I’m thinking “just fuck off and pull that stick out of your arse”
