Cloaca has just pointed it out to me that my tab for Psycroptic's The Color Of Sleep has been deleted and I was just wondering as to the reasoning behind this. Is it not possible to have two versions of the same tab anymore?

I'm not overly bothered as Cloaca's tab is superior, but even so both versions are usually retained. As I said, I'm quite ambivalent to the situation and I was just wondering.

Thanks.

I noticed that, but assumed that it was done because Cloaca noted that his version of the tab was originally intended as corrections to your tab, and that you told him to submit it himself. When I saw that it was deleted, I thought back to that and figured that this must have been taken as your consent to have his tab replace yours, as a revision would replace the original. I may be wrong, but that was my thinking. Or, perhaps, there's a conspiracy to retain Cloaca's hegemony over Psycroptic tabs. Or it was a glitch. Or some other option. I really don't know. But, were I betting on it, I'd go with the first reason.

No idea. Perhaps it was a mistake? I never even noticed.

What's also strange is that the tab has been deleted but my rating hasn't gone down. Is this because it will now be stored in a 'Deleted files' folder somewhere on the server and hence my score isn't affected?

Well, one thing's for certain, Metaltabs has got an e-poltergeist!

Once a file has been deleted from a server like that - it is gone until you re-upload it. No 'deleted files' folder unfortunately. I'm sure Nomad will sort this out though!

Ah, OK.

Sorry John, I thought this was an update to you tab so I replaced it with Cloaca's. Please resubmit it again, thanks.

To Cloaca, ratings are reset when you update your tabs, I think that makes sense.

No worries, Nomad.

However, if the tab was deleted how come my rating didn't go down?

__________________

It either had less than 3 votes, or another tab of yours got rated.

Neither of the above! This is all very strange... *cue music from The Twighlight Zone*

curiously, how long does it take a tab rating to go through? i re-voted for skin coffin about 1 week ago, yet deeds of tim is still on 0.
