I find moderation of story descriptions etc quite necessary and since InDucks is run on a voluntary basis, we can't really complain too much about it taking time. InDucks is used by Disney comic publishers all over the world and the data entered thus has to be correct. I also wish that all submitted data would be handled within 24h, but for that to happen I assume that additional devoted moderators would have to join the project.

Hi,

I confirm this is certainly not dictatorship on our side, but limited amount of time to make everything work as well as possible.
There are two different problems here I think.

First, the description were attributed to the moderator by mistake. I've corrected this bug now. From now on when someone submits a description which is later approved, the true original writer is acknowledged. I also added the name of the author description on the story page:
Story page
In fact I also created a page for each contributor. It gives a summary of his/her contributions:
spacewalker
This "user page" is even linked from the story page where your contributions are (maybe that's too much, I'm not sure what's best here).
Finally I also manually changed the credit for the descriptions that you sent and that were approved.

The second problem is the time taken for approval of one's descriptions. We have switched from a post-moderation system to an approval-first system. This is because we like all contributions to the index to be approved by trusted persons. This is good for first-time users who may send wrong (or not well written) descriptions, but not for long-time contributors who submit well-written descriptions. To have the both of worlds, we can "whitelist" users we know who always submit good descriptions. This way you can contribute as before. I'd need to talk about this with other indexers.

Cacou, thanks a lot for your explanation. It sure sheds some light on the problem and it all seems quite different now. I also found the new features very nice.
Sorry if I seemed bitter or even rude. That was in no way my intention. INDUCKS is a fantastic resource and will continue to be.
Thanks for the hard work you're doing to keep the website alive and improve it.

Hello. I find it important to answer since I've been mentioned here, but seems to me already all the questions been answered. My nickname was written in submitted by me descriptions because of the system, not because of some dictatorship or whatever (I do not intend to steal someones desc. and put it with my nickname). As Cacou said this "bug" is fixed now. On my point of view it is very importand to submit only accurate descriptions (sometimes I get completely wrong or misplaced), it's not just about having the descriptions for each story, but it is about the quailty. Quality is what makes INDUCKS such a perfect Disney comics source and I don't agree it is loosing its perfection. For about 10 years I'm with INDUCKS it has changed a lot, and i mean A LOT! If back in those days INDUCKS team was just indexing the stories, now there's a lot of work with checking and submitting descriptions, story scans, solving errors... If we let it do to any registered user I'm affraid INDUCKS might become a complete mess and there will be no more words about perfection in any way...

In a way...I wish they (INDUCKS) could show more than page 1 of the story...I'm sure there's limits, but I don't care if the story is in Italian, German, Japanese, or even Esperanto...I coulad make a story out of that!
