Reporting and Deleting submissions

Hi guys,

I recently made an error submitting an item, by clicking on the wrong product (Adding a dunlop Q-Zone to the Uli Jon Roth page). I want to report this to an admin, or delete my post, but I can't find any options or contact info to do so. I'd propose a report submission button for posts that need review, to quickly alert admins to errors. Is there already a feature like this available? Thanks

To add on to this, I'd also recommend a report item function to merge duplicate items, and fix spelling

All of these are great suggestions. Some of these exist, and some still need to be built:

We just released some new tools around this! Underneath every submission you should see an "EDIT THIS SUBMISSION" button, which allows you to make edits. It's a lot more like a Wiki this way, where changes can be kept track of as submissions (hopefully) improve over time. Unfortunately, only admins can change out items while this is still in Beta... If you want to get an admin's attention in a submission's comment thread, you can always @-mention them!

We'll be working on full item edit-ability soon. There's a tool to merge duplicates but it's kind of hidden. You can report a duplicate item using here: http://equipboard.com/duplicate_items/new

We have lots to do still and we're hard at work! Thanks for your ideas though, we love hearing them :-)

I would like to delete this submission:

https://equipboard.com/submissions/500050#revisions-form

I'd like to remove these submission from "William Cooper Glenn" because I don't think the strings gear and brands seem specific enough. https://equipboard.com/submissions/481142 https://equipboard.com/submissions/481151

i found out as soon as I hit robert white of the funk brothers, the description says he is a bagpipe player, so I added a new version of him today. tried removing the l5 from the supremes a go go album, can't find it anywhere; i know it's supposed to be down on "check all that apply." could you remove the l5 from the bagpipe player, please? here's my link https://equipboard.com/submissions/523581

Thanks for reaching out re: these submissions.

Re: the violin + cello submissions, I appreciate that you're re-evaluating submissions from almost 2 years ago and deciding you can be more precise now. I wish more people cared enough to do this. THANK YOU!

Re: submitting to the wrong Robert White profile, no worries -- honest mistake. Happens to all of us, eventually.

Moderators can't delete user submissions, but I can mark all 3 as incorrect, which means nobody will see those submissions when they visit Robert or WCG's profiles.

I took care of the Gibson submission, shall I go ahead and mark the other 2 submissions as incorrect?

Hey pkennthk, these pages for Gwar's drummer and Gwar's artist page are duplicates. Could they be deleted? https://equipboard.com/pros/jizmak-da-gusha https://equipboard.com/band/gwar--2 https://equipboard.com/pros/brad-roberts

Good catch.

Deleting artists and bands requires two people, two red briefcases, two synchronized key-twists, proper launch codes... but I will see what I can do.

So you're saying we should KEEP this GWAR band profile and DELETE this one? Correct?

We should KEEP this Jizmak da Gusha and DELETE this one? Correct?

It seems like there are duplicate artist profiles for all the core members of GWAR, very strange. I wonder what happened?

That other Brad Roberts profile belongs to the singer of the Crash Test Dummies. I've restored that one to the correct human.

So sorry, this didn't get to my notifications for some reason! Yes, you got it all right! Definitely weird that there's two lol. Thanks for looking into it.

Also, I got another one haha, just now seeing that there's two pages for the band The Haunted. This one I believe could be kept (some of the members are listed on it) and this one (no members) could be deleted.

No worries at all.

I gave the admins the full rundown on all the GWAR duplicates last week, as they're the only ones with the power to delete bands and artists, but haven't heard back yet.

I will pass on these 2 dupes for The Haunted as well, thanks!

Hey. Just so I dont need to start another thread, I just thought Id ask here. Ive been on here quite a few years and am always adding gear, and editing details of gear thats wrong or incorrect.

Anyway, past 6 month, or so, Ive had things like adding gear to the database, and my own page "Not" work, but I think that got fixed for the most part, however, the one on going issue Im noticing is that, if I add gear to the database, it will let me add detail/description like always, but theres a lot of gear that Ive been wanting to update/revise the description/details on, but on pretty much every instance, even something I previously personally added to the database, it wont let me edit the details. Im aware of the edit button, and its still there, but now it always just says, you "cannot" make edits.

Besides making edits where I see details/descriptions are missin/wrong etc, there is another thing regarding descriptions Id like to bring up, but for now, Im mainly just curious why I basically cant make edits on anything at all it seems. After I click edit, it just always says something like, "You are not allowed to make edits, or whatever it says, but bottom line is, it seems like its only started doing that sometime in the last 4-6 months or so. I havent tried on my computer, just phone; but yeah curious if someone could look into that?

Thanks so much! James
