Pin Trading Database NEEDS your HELP uploading pins/pictures!

Starry, thank you for allowing any types of pictures to be added to the database without all of the ridiculous restrictions required by that "other pin database site". I, personally, do not even try to post anything there anymore based on the restrictions they have.

 

Agree, clean pictures are always best. But agree with @figment919 the flexibility to have more than one pin and some pics on card backs, etc. is really nice.

I also have stopped adding pins to Pinpics database… mostly because I feel my time and effort is better spent with pintradingdb.com and collectiblepintrader.com.

 

Hope all is well with you and Ryan. Anything new in the database world??

 

Pin #30082 lists Olu from Aulani as Squirt from Finding Nemo, which would make the pin very difficult to find for Olu collectors.

On a separate note, is there going to be an added way to flag listings that are incorrect (or dupes)? I feel like that would be useful for important details since this is all user-submitted and submissions are accepted right away. That way mods can focus on other stuff and don't have to hunt down these things. I'm sure it's already been mentioned/in the process of being addressed, but just a thought.

 

Got Olu fixed.

Couple of suggestions for the site though:
1- Can the search bar be placed somewhere toward the top and made visible at all times? (Like when viewing a single pin, still have the search at the top, maybe next to the logo.)
Otherwise I keep having to go back to another page first before I can search again...

2- A way to search by release date. Fortunately the database it programmed to standardize the date entry so they are all mm/dd/yyyy vs people typing in the date anyway they want.. I'd love to be able to search for pins released on x date.

3- include all and portions of the SKU in the search (or an option to search by SKU). That might be a little tougher since the SKU entry isn't standardized, so 400014295476 and 4-00014-29547-6 are the same SKU (and Disney might even use a shortened 1429547 or something). But just a thought, since the info is there, it would be nice to have some option to search it...

 

1 and 8 are gun metal

Would it be fair to say the duplicates might be created:
1) if someone does not do a through check before uploading a pin?
2) if someone leaves out main key words from the description? The most common words a user would use to search for the pin?

So both the primary and duplicate pin listings are responsible to confirm they do their part to avoid duplicates.

What are other ways we can avoid duplicates?

 

Not to sound awful, but is there a way to give a warning or remove the accounts of people duplicating listings? It sounds like an awfully annoying behaviour and potentially intentional provoking of the mods. Possibly trolling, if you ask me.

 

Oh so people think they have to make their own listing to have it listed in their account? Never thought about that.

 

I just uploaded 13 more pins. Now over 29600. Under 400 to go to get to 30,000 by the new year!

We can do it!
