As far as I know there's no error real checking done by Catagolue, beyond (maybe) statistical testing to validate that the distribution of objects follows a kind of power law.drc wrote:This haul, submitted by muzik, contains several still lifes that are just the soup itself partitioned into objects, dots, and smaller groups of cells. It was committed, making the still life list look massive, when before it was just several 20-cell-and-under still lifes.
I feel like this could shed some light on the error checking that catagolue does, and maybe some extra checks could be done?
Trying to perform more advanced checks server-side would be prohibitively resource-intensive however, I imagine. And while peer review could be enabled for more rules, it really depends on having a certain number of contributors (ideally using different software, too, so that one person submitting wrong results with a buggy script doesn't then verify their own results).
As for this haul -- you may want to contact Calcyman directly and ask him to back it out of the database. A post in this thread may not be enough to call his attention to it.
