General Forum

Ok, I have to start another forum because I'm getting the runaround. 

I need to send an "Inaccuracy Report" But how? were to whom? I have no clue.

It's really sad when you want to help the website it's like pulling teeth to make it better. Augh.

Please tell me everything about sending an Inaccuracy Report.

And the FAQ's will save you...

https://www.tcdb.com/FAQ.cfm?ITEM=Inaccuracies

1.) Go to the set of the card you need do send the IR for.

2.) Next, select which card it is. Example select #1

3.) Look down the left hand side of the page and you'll come to "See any inaccuracies" (should be in red type)

4) Click on that link right below it and select what type of inaccuracy you wish to report

5.) Write your message / description in the box and click submit.

6.) Your request is sent and will be responded to by one of the dedicated IR fixers .

This didn't merit its own thread--you easily could have used the one you originally created, but I'll help anyway. This info is also available in the FAQs, which are really good resources that everyone should check out. As their name implies, they answer many of the questions that get asked most frequently.

Pretty much any changes that need to be made are requested via inaccuracy reports. Each set, insert/parallel set, and individual card has a link like this,

Use it on sets for missing cards, wrong numbers/names/notes/etc., and more, and on individual cards for similar errors. The queue for IRs is monitored by a number of volunteers who've put in the work to achieve permissions to make changes, and they also know when to escalate things to Admin--as in the single creator of this database, and the one who has permissions the rest of us don't. When IRs are created, the people working on them have access to a set of tools that make resolving them easier, often automating repetitive tasks as much as possible.

It's extremely important to remember a few things:

• The people who work on these IRs are volunteers. They do this to help the database out of the goodness of their hearts. Please be courteous and respectful and keep in mind that they have jobs and lives outside of the DB
• Nobody is here to do research for you, so if you think something's not quite right or is missing, it's up to you to explain how to correct it in your report
• That means you should be providing good information when you create an IR. "This card is wrong" isn't helpful. IRs that start with "I think..." aren't great either, and if that's how you're leading off your report, head to the forums first
• Want a checklist added? Please provide as much info as you can: card numbers, players, teams, notes (e.g. serial numbering)
• Want a single card added? Do we already have the checklist for that set and just your card is missing? If not, please find the whole checklist and provide it as single-card checklists for complete sets don't benefit anyone but you

I think that covers it but if that and the FAQs (which you should really check out!) don't handle any related questions you might have, please reach out.

I have found that a helping hand from a "veteran" can be very helpful trying to learn all the ins and outs, as the faqs certainly don't cover everything. I even put out a call for a patient person to help me navigate, and got a lot of positive responses.

Thanks, everyone. I have sent in the IR and have confirmed there is a complete set of No-dot cards by calling card stores around the country. I now have 138 not listed here on top of the ones that are listed here. The one guy made me a great deal so I had to buy them. :) I'm up another 30 from last week. They are a better-looking print by far, compared to the cards with a dot. If they ever get listed I'll post the images and the extras I have for trade If I still have extras. I will be mailing out 108 no-dot cards to someone that is also looking to complete a no-dot set. It was a bit of a pain typing a list of 108 numbers. But it was the only way with the set listing being incomplete.  Let's hope the set listing is fixed and completed. The ball has been dropped too many times for a set that is 33 years old. 

Thanks again for everyone pointing me in the right direction. Now we can only wait and see.
