Forums - Sales - Embarrassing sales tracking mistake

@ gilgamesh: A cop hired to keep the peace still can't break the law himself though.

That's different though, cops are like mods for the internet, they're job is to make sure people follow the rules. But ioi isn't a mod he's the one that made the rules for the mods to keep track of. IMO he can do whatever the hell he wants, if it wasn't for him we all wouldn't be here in this forum right now.

Mistakes happen.

I wish more people called out the other tracking services when they make mistakes. But they don't and whenever VGchartz makes a mistake it reduces this sites credibility!

You want free, easily searchable charts from around the world that have analytical tools that can be applied to the data to compare the data easily? You're here. VGchartz is the only organisation that does what it does. Mistakes will happen because it is a smaller operation with a smaller sample size in its respective regions. Making this site aware of mistakes is a good thing. Doing it whilst saying it means the data is made up is not constructive at all.

I'm really excited to hear that the ps3 data was actually for the pc! I hope we eventually get pc data each week as I think it'll really enrich the site and bring in more pc gamers.



...And on the seventh day ioi created the user. Then, thinking again, He created the troll, the flamer and the mod too: perfection is not of this world.

I'm not sure what you are getting at here. Mods have been spoken to previously if their own behaviour has been inappropriate it just isn't done publically for obvious reasons.

The general point here is that moderators are chosen to moderate the site content - they are in charge around here and they enforce the rules. In order to do their jobs properly they need to be seen to be "above" regular users and to be in charge. That is how these things work.

That said, we have a hierarchy like most organisations and if you have issues with a moderation decision, speak to Naznatips, if you have an issue with him, talk to me. If you have an issue with me then unfortunately that is where the trail ends!

blasphemy !

According to VGChartz, Dragon Age on PS3 has sold 62,017 copies in Others last week. However, the game isn't released in a single country except for the Americas yet.

This does indicate that there is some truth in the statement that VGChartz guesstimates some sales.

I'm not trying to start a fight, just pointing out that things like this need improving if we want that people take this site seriously.


how come if I said this id be banned for like 2 months???

 

 

 

jk it mightve happened though

Reading through this topic, I would say that the tension between Chrizum and ioi is due to a series of misunderstandings and nothing more.

As for Nordlead's comment, while I honestly don't feel it to be be banworthy given circumstance, loads of posters have been banned for less than that, and IMO there is a bit of a problem with mods, and pretty much anybody else with a coloured name, getting away with more than they should. I always keep tabs on the banned users because, for the most part, their posts make me laugh, and I've seen many users getting banned for directly insulting another member like that with a mod's message always being something similar to: "Report the user if you don't like what what he or she said - Direct insults aren't tolerated here on VGChartz."

Just because you are owner of this site does not make you a king of all it's users and make you impervious to the same rules you have laid down.

I'm afraid it means exactly that. I'm always very reasonable and listen to people's arguments and criticism but at the end of the day this is my site and what I say goes - no exception. If you are going to be personally rude to me expect to be removed from my site - I think anyone would do the same in the same situation - in fact I'm far more reasonable than most.


you are reasonable but some of the mods aint! sometimes i get banned for saying any old shit!
