New Categories

I just noticed people are all ready abusing the new categories for example places, one person as added the most beautiful places on earth.

Are there going to be rules set in place very soon, and also are categories going to be defined.

Yeah I agree there really are so many places that people can put and people can really put silly things as well such as visited Mars, since I noticed the planets are there. And I noticed whoever put that "most beautiful places" deleted the picture.

I tried adding a load of places myself to contribute to the database, it is rather time consuming though, but if it's made a start for others then that's something. Really I just like Listal as a place to put media interests such as Films/TV/Games, etc, but since it's a list website I guess that lists of other things are appropriate as well as the website grows, but as you said it can really just open itself to abuse.

That is good to know, I was thinking today how easily I can just put my local pub down as a place, but then how stupid would it look.

The new categories are great, I do enjoy travel and been around and it would be nice to have real places not just any old thing, it would also make it hard to find things.

Is there an easy way to prevent duplicate entries to categories? - for instance I have been adding to the fictional character category, but aside from scrolling through all the pages, I don't know if the character has already been added unless it was added from the same wikipedia page that I used, then it shows up.

The new categories need to be included in the search drop down box, otherwise, as The O.P said, there are to many results to easily find out if it has been added already.

I think NOW it's more important than ever to have some "abuse/error" button and maybe a way to describe the problem. Without such possibility, Listal will get thousands of such junk pages. Miracle people don't add their webpages for SEO yet -.-
