ah I see the problem. Discogs doesn't catalogue digital-only mixtapes, and the only physical release of this one is a bootleg. The initial digital release itself is not a bootleg but I see where the confusion came from

I'm pretty sure it's listed as a bootleg on Discogs and that's probably why it got flagged. Discogs isn't always correct (but it's usually pretty reliable). If you do re-add it, please support it with a URL to prove otherwise (so it doesn't get flagged again).

No worries. I know you can't rush art 😉 (and yes a notification system for this would probably be a good idea)

oh P.S., idk who flagged On Tha Double but it's a proper mixtape and not a bootleg, so if it's alright with you I'm just gonna re-add it

This is not something that happens a lot, but occasionally an album might get flagged as 'suspect' and then deleted after it has been been on the site a while (somebody will report an issue with the legitimacy of an album which then gets investigated).

A problem with the current system is that you'd be unlikely to notice the suspect album unless you viewed the chart and spotted it (& this might not always be possible if you have lots of charts etc, or the album is lower down one of the lists).

In regards to this album it was On Tha Double, reported as a bootleg on 6th October and deleted on 7th April.

Just reading back over this thread, I think a better solution would be some kind of notification, and this is something that I'll action as soon as I can. Perhaps not an email, as that's too intrusive (& nobody reads them anyway), but maybe an indicator on the My Charts page if there are suspect albums in any of the charts (since there is a 28 day period from when an album gets flagged as suspect, to when it gets deleted to give people a chance to state their case).

Sorry I've been a bit slow at implementing recent changes, the redesign is taking a bit too much of my time up right now and acting as a bit of a bottleneck.

hey AM, think you could post whatever albums show up in your code as having been deleted 4 days ago? Apparently an album on a chart of mine got hit but on the 6th idk what it was

that explains that one then, so album is valid (album can be re-added to the site)

In the text on that page it says the Edomites are the performing artist & MyShitEatsTapes is the label (so original title would be correct but explains why this was a bit difficult to track down)

I met the band irl at a record fair and can confirm the information was correct as entered. Does "just trust me on this" work as a means of verifying data? 🤣

no I know that albums can be removed for plenty of reasons and I'm not contesting that. Tbh I don't really care why the album was deleted (I trust that you and/or mods made the appropriate call) I'd just like to know what was deleted (for organizational purposes mostly)

At the moment, albums are deleted from the database if they are flagged as suspect for more than 28 days (& suspect items are flagged across the site). A page could be added to the site listing everything that has been deleted on the site (albums, artists, tracks etc) if it helps people to locate deleted items but items can be removed from the site for a variety of reasons (e.g. duplicates, items added by mistake, malicious content etc) and a page wouldn't necessarily show you the reason for deletion of a specific item or which charts an item appeared in.

so when an album is deleted from the database for one reason or another, it is removed from all charts it appears in, and going back to previous versions of the charts will not reveal it. Is the identity of deleted albums saved anywhere? I'd trying to figure out what was deleted from my 2013 and 2010s charts but I can't remember what was in there...
