Today, after I made sure a misspelled mare didn't exist and deleted her name, then put that offspring under the proper mare with the rest of her siblings, I couldn't then go add info like the fact that the first entry was a bay mare vs a no color filly. Sure she's got more than 3 progeny, but you're hardly gonna have people going through making mares geldings or dark bays into chestnuts. That's the kind of info that people don't go pester mods about, even if they're happy to be spammed with correct information. It costs me time and effort too to contact them, and sometimes you just go 'screw it, it'll just have to go on as it is'. I don't exactly remember to go back and see if the changes were made.
Sometimes you can't update a race record and need to--it's not like they're retired and changes won't happen every few weeks. I get why that's the case with well known horses that are constant targets for hypomating crap and adding things that shouldn't be added. Shouldn't locked horses currently racing have someone monitor their records for updating? If nobody's gonna pay attention to that, why bother having them locked because, again, it makes them more inaccurate?
PS. Oh the irony that I grumble about the time it takes to contact people to fix the records and then I go and take this much time to post.
It's been getting on my nerves lately. Figured I better get it off my chest. Then be told, politely, that I am wrong, which I'm sure I am, as the good folks of PQ work very hard and surely are more aware of why they do what they do than I am.
