I tried to Edit a faulty Recycle.

Harl Grass does NOT recycle into Straw Mushroom. It is destroyed directly.

I can understand not allowing common users to delete hard-earned work, but I would like to suggest a flagging system. If a user is flagging things uselessly, all flags from that user can be deleted and ignored. If a user flags something appropriately, it can be addressed and the database can be 'cleaned up' so to speak so we don't have erroneous or incorrect information.

The only thing that a good database like this one has going for it is the potential for large amounts of information. That information is only as good as its reliability.

KUDOS to the developers. And thanks for letting me help.

thanks redman, i deleted the bad recycles. i'll have to put some logic in there so users can not a recycle for a rank 1 item since it's impossible.

good idea about the flagging system. i'll have to think about what would be the best way to implement one.

on the good side though, i think we got almost all (if not all) of the bad items/compounds out of the database but we haven't really gone through the recycles yet. since all new recycles/items/compounds are visible on the home page, it's pretty easy to catch them the day they are created incorrectly. there are a few mods that can help me with the cleanup.

the developers are just me! thanks for the support!

Wow redman, nice idea about flagging. That'd help a lot ^^

the only problem i would worry about is that people might think something is wrong and flag it which would just make a lot more work for us and others would think it is not as reliable.

for instance..someone who doesn't know much about compounding and thinks that a compound is impossible.

Perhaps making the flagging option available for people with x-amount of posts? At least then you won't have little kids going around and flagging everything :s

Well, that's why I had the addendum "user flags things uselessly" one could feasibly remove all flags by that user after 'one' incidence and prevent following up on further red herrings. Additionally, if you want to make it so that a flag is not brought to attention unless 2 or X users flag it, that could also make it a more 'community' based wiki-type project.
