In response to the gloabal moderator mr_goldenage:
A. I understand that some people do not have the storage facilities that I and others can and do have, but I don't see how that enters into it really. Whether a person does or does not have the capability to house every scan they can find, it does not change the fact that most people would prefer to read a cleaned up image than one where every page is tilted in a slightly different direction or located at a differing corner of the frame. (Personally, I sometimes even get a headache from attempting to read a RAW file.) Plus, the uploading of a flood of RAW scans makes the website look more like an unattractive, unfinished pile of works in progress, rather than the smoothly designed library and reference mechanism that it actually is. It helps the appearance of CB+ to present only the best looking content possible, don't you think?
B. But be all of that as it may, if a file is held back until it can be edited, then who would know or care? People outside of the moderators and the actual contributors would have no clue that any given file actually exists until it is introduced. It only becomes an issue for people who prefer to edit files themselves as you do. I have to believe that people who want to edit all of the scans that they keep have got to be a far, far smaller portion of the site's membership than those that would just prefer to read a clean product.
But, as you said, these are just thoughts.
In response to super-uploader narfstar: You and Comicwanderer and all of the men and women who work to preserve and present all of the aspects of this medium are all treasures. Please take none of what I have said in a negative light. My comments were not made to criticize anyone's work, just suggestions of ways to make this already attractive site more appealing.
Happy New Year to all!
