Been using Discogs since 2012. Been using Discogs since 2012. It's grown since then. Found things I never thought I'd find and sold things and met a lot of interesting characters along the way.

PRIVACY VIOLATION!! DISCOGS REFUSES TO REPLY!! BE AWARE!! Discogs Staff & Community Support Specialist still haven't replied to my countless tickets for many months now regarding PRIVACY VIOLATION. My identity (personal information) & actions on Discogs were leaked out from a specific Discogs Staff to a 'High Ranked' user who exposed my identity & actions publicly!! Despite all irrefutable proofs & screenshots I attached, all my tickets & complaints are still marked by Discogs as 'Solved', avoiding to give me any explanation on my issue! I even wrote to Discogs Messenger explaining the whole situation and they told me to address to Discogs Support Center, which I did countless times so far!! I've also been a victim of abusive behavior such as "ping DtF (DOWN TO F***) so he knows what's going on" and more...of course all with proofs/screenshots. All my reports/complaints were in the frame of Discogs guidelines while I was also polite with everything. As this wasn't enough, the same Discogs Staff member blocked my account from contributing to the database the same moment when I reported Privacy Violation, since he had shared my personal data with the specific user who exposed my identity. So ever since I wasn't be able to edit anything, even my own releases, nothing at all! That is how Discogs works and there's a ton of evidence! This is ILLEGAL & completely unfair!! Discogs is a non objective music database manipulated by its Staff & their 'High Ranked Users' who have the power to vote and decide about your own music/releases, no matter if the mass (or you) support a different opinion. The conclusion is yours... PS: PLEASE IF A LEGAL ADVISOR READS THIS I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HIS OPINION. THANK YOU

CIP is a problem. Despite being a good database for different music releases, it has a problem. As someone who created a contributers account I got stuck CIP (Contributer Improvement Programme) which prevents you from contributing to the database, and I can't get off of it, even after 5 years. Discogs does have a guide to fix this, but it's so complicated and doesn't even tell you how to vote on pending submissions.

discogs is not a place for you put two stars because Discogs is still a good marketplace and generally a useful site, despite the recent fee increase has led some sellers to leave. negative 5 star for the entire collapsed vote / contribution / peer-review system. As a new user it's very easy to make some wrong edits and you will get bombed by a gang of ogs on that site in names of the so called "guideline". Oh yeah, even if you did something correct which contradicts their belief, they would still bomb you because they got a hard slap on the face. Massive votes were randomly dropped if they were unhappy with you but they wont vote again after you fix it, as they would tell you they are on a duty to fix thousands of submission daily. You can see numerous complaints about this over-passionate group of users everywhere online which constantly frustrates and blocks new users and artists. You could see user complains about being harassed months on reviews.com, while the men is still at large and be very active on the site. You can even see songs about those toxic users by artists because a lot of abusive behavior is largely tolerated and backed by the staff there, while on the site's forum you will just see "oh we win, losers delete their accounts or got banned" "Discogs is not a place for you, blablabla" this community could be much better and friendly

I recommend Discogs I’ve used Discogs on and off for years. I’ve had one bad experience but many, many good ones. I honestly think the negative reviews are mostly from people with very little knowledge or experience of the records market, who always buy the cheapest copy listed and are then sore when it isn’t always in spotless condition
